Sir Derek Jakeway

In Australia

The Governor of Fiji, Sir Derek Jakeway, will meet leaders of com merce associated with Fiji when he pays his first official visit to Aus tralia in February.

HE and Lady Jakeway are scheduled to arrive in Sydney on February 17 from New Zealand, for an eight-day visit.

In New Zealand, Sir Derek will discuss matters of mutual interest with the New Zealand Government and the British High Commissioner.

But with huge Australian invest ments in Fiji it is his visit to Sydney, which is the headquarters of several big corporations established in the Colony, which will probably be most useful.

He is scheduled to lunch with the board of the Bank of NSW the day after his arrival, and that evening he will have dinner with the board of the CSR Co. Ltd.

Another important engagement includes a luncheon with Mr. A. H.

Urquhart, chairman of the Sydney Stock Exchange.

It is perhaps not without significance that Sir Derek is scheduled to spend six days in Sydney, the headquarters of many leading Australian companies, and only two in Canberra, where very few “captains of industry” are stationed.

He will leave Canberra on Feb ruary 25 to return to Suva. Lady Jakeway will go on to England from Australia, and will stay there till July.
