M. Guyon

Popular Governor’s Retirement Opposed

From Our Own Correspondent.

NOUMEA, October 4.

INFORMATION has been received from Paris that Monsieur J.

Guyon, the Governor of the Col ony of New Caledonia, will retire shortly, on account of having reached the age limit.

The Governor has been in New Caledonia for over seven years, and such is his success and his popularity that the Consul-General has des patched a cable to Paris pointing out the value of retaining his services— particularly in view of the large public works and development pro gramme now under consideration, as a result of the big loan which France is giving to New Caledonia.
