From Our Own Correspondent

P. Moresby, July 20.

THE first P-NG licence to export non-ferrous scrap metal to Japan was granted recently to G.V. Miller & Company, of Rabaul, who shipped out a consignment of 236 tons.

In the past, licences for non ferrous scrap shipments have been granted only for export to approved markets, but this limitation was re laxed due to the low level of the Australian and British markets.

Further applications for release of non-ferrous scrap to Japan will be considered on their merits by the Administration —the deciding factor will be whether or not a reasonable price can be obtained on the approved markets. fl Mr. George W. Giddy, manager in Australia for the Commercial Union Insurance group, paid a business visit to Fiji during July.
