Tulagi, June 7,

INCURABLE optimists got a shock last week when copra fell to £13 in London. Still, “Be British” is our slogan (and not a bad one either these days), and we decided that we can still produce without loss, if it goes no lower.

Let us hope we are not in the same position as the American businessman, who jumped out of a 57th storey win dow. Repenting immediately, he ex claimed, as he passed the fifth floor, “Thank goodness, I’m all right so far.”
