New Guinea
INTRODUCTION of a 45-hour in stead of a 40-hour week is one of the changes to be made under a three-year plan for Dutch New Guinea.
Other changes will be reductions in import duties (described as “im portant”), taxation reductions, and doubling of the coastal services by the KPM.
The Netherlands Parliament has voted £12,500,000 for its NG terri tory in the 1954 Budget. This is about double the amount set aside by the Australian Government for the P-NG Territory.
