“Closed Districts” In
G. And E.
A GAZETTE issued in Suva in December contained a new ordinance to provide for the declaration of closed districts in the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony.
It has been enacted that the High Commissioner for the Western Pacific may by proclamation declare any part of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands to be a closed district, and no person may enter a closed district except natives of that district; Government officials acting under orders; and licensees.
The Resident Commissioner of the Gilbert and Ellice Group has authority to grant licenses to persons to enter closed districts under conditions which he may lay down.
