P Ng Land Handed Back
p. 61 · Read in the full issue
Two small islands —Botull, of 30 acres, off Manus and an even smaller one off Kar Kar Island —have been handed back to New Guineans cur rently living on them.
These islands were alienated during the German regime but apparently their recording in the German Ground-Book was not as clear as it might have been.
With the addition of these two islands, the Administration, in the past two years, has now handed back to the natives 70,000 acres of land which it considered was of doubtful ownership.
