French Government and Problem of Distribution

From Our Own Correspondent.

Papeete, Nov. 1.

REFERRING to rumours among the people to the effect that the copra bonus would not be made applicable to French Oceania, His Excellency the Governor recently assured the Economic Delegation that the engagements made by the French Government would be carried out as soon as the Minister for the Colonies was satisfied as to the best method of distributing the bonus.

A close investigation had been carried out during the past year in order to estab lish a detailed inventory of the copra production throughout these scattered archipelagoes, added His Excellency, and it was hoped thus to arrive at a just basis upon which to distribute the bonus. This was a work of a particularly delicate nature, the results of which the delegation would be able to study during the present session.
