Inst at dusk the Castle automobile
rolled down to the wharf at Napo1poo
where, apparently, the wnole popuia-

which opened up with the Star spahsled
Banner, a line of khaki-clad police
men saluted, there was chorus o.

concluding tribute to the beauty OF the
islands and their right to expect the
same consideration as other territories
of the Union; a friendly greeting In

Governor Frear with a speech full Oh
sound economic advice and a promise
to come soon again on visit or MS
