For the Solomons.
A PLAN to grow sugar in the British Solomon Islands is being submitted to Sydney investors.
It is proposed to lease 10,000 acres of grass lands on the northern side of Guadalcanal, about 30 miles from Tu lagi, and plant 1,000 acres in Queens land varieties of cane, as soon as pos sible. The new British preference on colonial-grown sugar is an important factor in the plan.
Mr. King, who has been a plantation manager in the Solomons for some years, is interested in the proposal.
