CONCERNING PAPUA
AS A WOMAN SEES THINGS. Australian and JJ-Z- Cable Association (Received June 28, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, June 27. Miss Beatrice Grimsbaw, the wellknown author, read a paper at the Colonial Institute on Papua and the Western Pacific. She dealt with common everyday aspects of life there, and outlined the agricultural and industrial possibilities. The paucity of white population was accounted for by malaria, yet sfio argued that more white® died in cold countries from bronchitis and pneumonia than ever malaria was accountable for, but the treatment of malaria was effectively improving. The commoner zymotic diseases of civilisation are non-existent in Papua. She speaks well of the natives generally.
