that PMH cannot spare him for longer. Dr. Greenough wants him to go, but 
apparently, not Dr. Walsh, his senior there. I sense a good deal of ten-

is surely caught up in it. There is nothing quiet and smooth in the 
operation of these colonial medical services. Throughout the world, there 
seems to always be these problems of personality clashes, authoritarianism 
and jealousies. It is bad everywhere, particularly in these places of 
scanty medical facilities and limited personnel. The old adage that no 
two Westerners can share a primitive tribe, a village, or an island, still 
holds true, particularly with professionals. 
I would like to get out to Eklpe and try to get some Tongarlki bleed- 
ings there, if time permitted tomorrow. However, we have Paul Brown to

I have spent the late afternoon and evening with the Archdeacon of 
the Diocese of Melanesia, D. A. Rawcliffe of Lolowai, Longana (Aoba) , New 
Hebrides. He flew down from Lolowai with Dr. this afternoon for 
the government council meeting this week here at Vila. He has loaded me 
with specific information about each island of the Banks and Torres group, 
where his mission has dominated the scene for generations. Deacon Rawcliffe 
is a small, thin, intense man who has had vast experience in the Banks and 
Torres islands.
