Explorers' Feat
in Papua
SEVEN MONTHS' TREK IN INTERIOR
Almost Given Up For Lost
Sydney, Feb. 16.
"A feat of exploration rivall- ing the epic journey of Mr. Jack Hides in 1935" is the official opinion of the recently-concluded seven months' trek of Mr. Ivan Champion, Mr. C. T. Adamson, and a party of native police and carriers in the hinterland of Northern Papua.
"BLANK CHEQUE"
'Dr. Furce said that whatever might have been the findings of the Lam- beth Conference, The resolutions adopted were il grave departure from the
practice of general the Church of England in, the past, and the Aral of their kind ever to have been passed by the Upper House.
Incidentally, they had given al blank cheque to the Blate that they would recogulse any cause for divorce which a majority In l'ar Hament might think they would make legal.

Dr. Heywood seconded. The House, he said, had, in effect, said that Christian marriage could be dis- solved for other reasons than death, That was a plein contradiction of the Prayer Book.

Mr. Champion, an assistant resident magistrate, established a considerable reputation a decade or so ago by his exploration of the Fly River.
When Mr. Hides returned from his expedi- tion in 1935, the Papuan Administru- tion authorised an expedition led by Mr. Champion to supplement Mr. Hides' discoveries of wonderfully- Tertile country in the north of the territory.
"I feet the most profound dis- quiet, bewiklerment and anxiety as a result of what we did on Thurs- day," th Bishop of Ely continued. "I lay awake the early hours and asked myself, 'Has the Church of England any principles in this matter? If she has, what are those principles when Convocation con- tradicts the teachlags of the Prayer Book? There WAR no voice to answer me."
