Nauru Resettlement Progress

The Nauruans in July were still discussing resettlement proposals made by the Australian Government.

THERE is a possibility they are in terested in settling on either Fraser or Curtis Island off Queens land, if various problems can be worked out satisfactorily for all con cerned.

There has to be agreement made with the Queensland Government about the terms on which either island could be made available; there has to be agreement with the Nau ruans on the conditions under which they would occupy the island; there has to be general agreement among the three trustee powers of Nauru about the final resettlement proposal.

Generally, progress has been re ported as satisfactory with all sides confident that a solution will be found.
