Fiji as Happy Example To Papua-N. Guine

SO far as the delegates frj Papua and New Guinea w| concerned, there could hj been no happier choice of place! the Third South Pacific Confers than Fiji.

This is the opinion of Mr. J.l McCarthy, who went with the de gation to Suva in April as an offi(| adviser. In a brief report to I P-NG Legislative Council in li May, he said that the P-NG na! delegates were naturally drawn the Fijians and were quick to noi the happy relationship that exia between the Fijians and the Ed peans. In this way they saw li Papua-New Guinea might one I be.

He said that the delegates h learned a great deal from tlj Fiji visit and had returned with greater appreciation of what I P-NG Administration and otM are trying to do for them. 1 delegates had more than held th own and if possible, the won representatives had shown up e\ better than the men.

In conference, delegates hj spoken to the point and only wH they had something to say. TE had learned about other Pacific tel tories but at the same time real! that they had something alsol give. In the matter of co-operati societies, for example, it was obvil that P-NG was far ahead of otl territories and what P-NG haca tell other delegates about t| strength and scope of themovenu in the Territory had amazed i latter.
