THE COVER; The 45-000-ton P & O-Orient liner "Canberra" makes an interesting picture as she is eased into Sydney's Circular Quay, in the shadow of the Harbour Bridge, m early July on her maiden voyage from London. Unlike other P & 0 ships on trans-Pacific services, the "Canberra" won't be seen in Suva—not yet a while anyhow. P & 0 chairman Sir Donald Anderson said in Sydney, aboard the "Canberra"' that the new vessel is too big for comfort for Suva's present wharf. Suva reports sa^,^ he L ori , ana 15 9 ettin 9 on fine during her visits to Suva, and that—if not before Canberra will certainly be able to use the new Suva wharf when it is finished in about two years. The main portion might be ready before then.
