Addressing a plenary meeting of the Vatican's Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, the pope alluded to the Father Kung case as he talked about the need for fraternal dialogue in ecumenism.
"This spirit of fraternal dialogue that must exist — andI would say it must exi t first of all among the theologians who, in the Catholic Church, are engaged in the effort of theological renewal — also clearly implies that this dialogue should be carried out in truth and fidelity," the pope said.

In a comment, the A ttorney General, Mr. Medcalf, said that the implementation of these measures was a matter of great satisfaction both to the Government and to A boriginal leaders in Kimberley. "The Bardi Community at One Arm Point is in the final stages of drawing up its by-laws under the Act and work is proceeding on extending the community law scheme to Lombadina, Beagle Bay and Balgo," Mr. Medcalf said. The Minister said that the proclamation specified the area of community land at La Grange, the particular jurisdiction within which the Bidyadanga Community by-laws now applied to anybody.

LIQUOR The by-laws had been discussed at length at meetings of the Community and were unanimously adopted by 156 members of the Community at a meeting on

up to $100 and or imprisonment for up to three months. "Charges will be heard by the Community's own Justices of the Peace, appointed last year." Mr. Medcalf said that one ofthe most important aspects of the community by-laws scheme was that it would operate very much in the traditional manner of Aboriginal law, but within the general law of Western Australia.

CUSTOM "The by-laws are not a statement of Aboriginal customary laws, nor do they amount to a recognition of customary laws, but they will be operating in an essentially Aboriginal law situation," he said. "The scheme enables a community to prohibit some of the things which were offences against customary law, by means o f a State law, the Aboriginal Communities Act. (continued Page 3)
