Dealt With Soon
FOLLOWING the “As you were!” orders given in Port Moresby in February, in relation to the Raluana (Rabaul district) trouble, it is expected that there will be de velopments soon after the Adminis trator (Brigadier Cleland) returns to the Territories at the end of April.
Petitions were received in Port Moresby from the Raluana native communities after the Adminis trator had gone on leave; and, in order that the Acting Administra tor (Chief Judge Phillips) should not be obliged to deal with a very delicate and complex matter, ex tending back into another adminis tration, it was decided to suspend the operation of certain proclama tions.
It is likely that the whole affair of the Raluana natives and the vil lage councils will be brought firmly to an issue in May.
