Netherlands press for rapid New Guinea development says minister
The Netherlands urged swifter progress in New Guinea at a Hague gathering. The Home Affairs Minister outlined a 1960s plan including 125 native administrators by 1963 and an 800-strong Papuan volunteers corps. He noted half of administrative posts were already held by Papuans and spoke of expanding airfields to 77. A local administrator in Rabaul cautioned it would be a long road to self government, while natives pressed for earlier alcohol access and continued review of drinking rules.
