Development Of New Guinea
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 9 p.m.) SYDNEY, November 14. The Dutch Minister of Territories, Mr G. P. Holders, is on his way home by air after talks with Australian Ministers at Canberra on problems facing New Guinea.
Mr Holders was quoted by the Australian Broadcasting Commission as saying that as a result of his visit, "friendly co-opera-tion” in New Guinea between the Netherlands and Australia would be greatly expanded. "We hope to concentrate together on social development of the native people of both territories in a new programme which will take shape soon,” he said. Australia would help to establish a cattle research station in Dutch New Guinea, and the Netherlands Administration also planned a central trading point on the west coast of Dutch New Guinea where the natives could market crops on a co-operative basis.
