Mr. Halligan Steps Down
Forty-eight years is a long time to be connected closely with South Pacific affairs. In half a century, especially the last half-century in the Pacific, one sees many changes and makes many friends.
The great many friends of Mr.
J. R. Halligan will wish him well in his retirement, announced in November, from the posts of Senior Commissioner for Aus tralia on the South Pacific Com mission, and special Adviser to the Australian Minister for Territories. (He will for a time continue on the British Phos phate Commission).
Mr. Halligan’s closest con nection naturally has been with Australian Territories, but in his post with the SPC , which he has held since 1948, he be came a familiar and welcome figure everywhere.
