Increase In Price Of "Pacific Is

"Pacific Is. Monthly"

/COMMENCING with the next (March) issue, the price of the Pacific Islands Monthly will be:

Within British Empire:

Single copies ... Bd.

Per annum (including postage) 87-

Outside British Empire:

Per annum (including postage) 10/- The chief reason for the increase in price is the high postage rate charged in Australia, which is about double that charged in other countries. The cost of postage on individual copies of the formerly Id, is now 2d per copy when addressed to places within the British Dominions; and no less than 4d per copy to subscribers in non-British

countries, such as U.S.A., Hawaii, and

the colonies of France.

As we thus are faced with a small average loss on each copy distributed, and as the circu lation of the P.I.M. (nearly all distributed by post) is increasing steadily, month by month, we ha\ e been compelled to increase the price.

We make this change with reluctance; and, so that ample notice may be given, readers are advised that they may subscribe, for one year in advance, at the old rates, until the publication ot the March issue. We shall accept subscriptions, at the old rates, provided the envelopes bear postmarks not later than March 25. After that, the new rates must apply.

Readers will note that, commencing with this issue, a larger type and a heavier and costlier paper have been introduced. It is our object to make the P.I.M. worthily represent the large and growing Territories of the South and Central Pacific.
