NNG Natives Would ‘Like Union
THE natives of Dutch New Guinea would like ultimately to see the political union of the people of the whole island of New Guinea.
In the meantime, they want a closer acquaintance with the native people in the Australian Territory, and they want an opportunity to learn English.
The P-NG Director of Education, Mr. G. T. Roscoe. says this in a book, “Our Neighbours in Nether lands New Guinea”, which was pub lished by the Jacaranda Press, Bris bane, in November (price 8/6).
Mr. Roscoe recently made an official visit to NNG. but the 70page book contains his personal views and is not an official publi cation.
Mr. Roscoe says in the book that he got his information by listening, and by asking two New Guineans who travelled with him to keep their own ears open.
They heard little reference to Indonesia.
