GENEROUS PAPUANS
SUBSCRIBE TO WAR LOAN N.Z.P.A. Special Correspondent Rec. 2 p.m. SYDNEY, this daj Natives living 300 miles from Porv Moresby, the administrative capital of New Guinea, have written to a general near their area seeking an opportunity to subscribe to Australian war loans. Their letter reads: Dear Sir, —We heard Prime Minister Curtin appealing for the Third Liberty Loan. We feel that such loans must not be raised by the people of Australia alone, but by the Papuans as well We are grateful for the sacrifices of the Australians in defending our land. There are many natives who would be willing to lend their wages if it could be arranged by the plantation managers. At present a lot of money is being wasted in gambling which should be used for the war."
