Topics cover include Six Centuries of Oppression 1373 and all that Britain's first Neo-Colony Imperial Conflict Salazar and the Alliance The Alliance in Modern Dress Closing the Ranks and Alliance in Oppression. The authors assert that Portugal is and has been since 1928 when Salazar et up his "New State" in imitation of Mussolini a fascist state. It is an unpleasant fact that Britain today gives formal support and aid to one of the most repressive regimes in Europe--a regime under which violence and exploitation of the people of Portugal are matched by violence and exploitation of the people of Angola Mozambique and Guine Portugal's extensive African possessions. British support for Portugal symbolized and celebrated in the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance supports the Portuguese efforts to defeat the liberation movement. The UK Committee for Freedom in Mozambique was formed in 1968 at the request of the Mozambique Liberation Front FRELIMO which had launched an armed national liberation struggle against Portuguese colonial rule in 1964. It expanded a year later to cover Angola and Guine-Bissau where armed struggle was also under way renaming itself as the Committee for Freedom in Mozambique Angola and Guine CFMAG. CFMAG operated as a campaigning pressure group aiming to build broad based political support for FRELIMO the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola MPLA and the African Independence Party of Guine-Bissau and Cape Verde PAIGC. It worked with all political parties the labour and student movements churches NGOs and many others. It had close relations with the Anti-Apartheid Movement and encouraged a regional perspective for the future of Southern Africa. It organised visits by liberation movement representatives and various specific political and material aid campaigns culminating in the End the Alliance Campaign of 1972/3. Following the 25 April coup in Portugal in 1974 and the subsequent negotiations between the new Portuguese government and the liberation movements the right of the colonies to full and immediate independence was acknowledged.

1923réf. 233431923. Very good condition. Original publicity photograph by James Francis Frank Hurley 1885-1962 the Australian photographer filmmaker and writer known for his Antarctic photographs including the destruction of Ernest Shackleton's ship 'Endurance'. Hurley undertook two long expeditions to the Torres Strait and New Guinea between 1920 and 1923. From this he developed a successful anthropological film 'Pearls and Savages' and the book by the same title. He documented the people their rites houses villages artifacts and mountain scenes. Although reviews in Australia were strong one critic called it "probably the most beautifully photographed pictorial of the kind that has ever been screened" the film release in America resulted in a financial loss for Hurley retitled "The Lost Tribe".

réf. 202912 page TLS describing in great detail the difficulties in setting up a mining operation in New Guinea. The author H. Edward Clayton is attempting to set up an aerial tramway to transport the ore. It is 3 1/2 miles long and passes over very rough country - the difficulty in hauling the cable is palpable. Clearly having been engaged in mining in other parts of the world before he speaks of Papua NG as "the worst country I've struck in getting anything started up" with no facilities the necessity of setting up your own company mess where as in the past "anywhere else a bording sic house keeper will light along and start up a show even if it does a bit of sly grog as well". He blames the "Navigation Act" which he calls "a curse on this country". "We have Dutch and Japanese boats passing within a hundred miles and the only ones allowed to call here are the little island boats of B.P's; the work is too much for them and the result is high fares and feights sic and infrequent service." Several other people are mentioned. There is a reference to "Bill Horsburgh" who is the assayer on this mine married with three children one of them was hospitalized for rheumatic fever in Port Moresby. "Bill has changed a good deal- as quiet as can be until he has a few in and the crust cracks." This could be a reference to William Horsburgh born in Queensland and married to Frances Stella Clayton. W.W. Horsburgh was an assayer and worked with the Dubuna and Laloki Mines of the New Guinea Copper Mines until at least 1927. It's possible that the author of the letter is related in some way to Horsburgh's wife. Clayton also asks after a George Osborne. We presume that the Laloki Mine is part of the Astrolabe mineral field near Port Moresby a massive copper mine that ran from 1907 to 1926 at the Laloki and Dubuna Mines and transported by light rail and aerial ropeway to a smelter near the Tahira Inlet wharf.

Scarce copper engraved map of the northwest coastline of New Guinea and Moluccas showing the track of the Dutch explorers Le Maire and Schouten in 1616 in the ships Eendracht and Hoorn. The two explorers made the third complete circumnavigation and were the first to round Cape Horn from the east a more efficient way to get to the East Indies and thus a significant threat to the monopoly held by the Dutch East India Company. The expedition was headed for Batavia which it reached in October of 1616. The Dutch governor there obliged them by confiscating their cargo and sending them back to Holland but Schouten published his journals and now the word on the Drake Passage was out. With title cartouche in Dutch Latin and French. With two compass rose and sailing ship. From Schouten's account of his and Le Maire's first rounding of Cape Horn.
