FUNDS FOR WAR LOANS NATIVES DESIRE TO HELP (Special Australian Correspondent.) (6 a.m.) SYDNEY, May 12. Natives living 500 miles from Port Moresby have written to the general near their area seeking an opportunity lo subscribe to Australian war loans. The letter reads: “We have heard Mr. Curtin appealing for the third Liberty Loan- We feel that such loans must not be raised by the people of Australia alone, but by 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 could be used for war.” - -
