Important Visitors in New Caledonia
THREE visitors representing import ant foreign interest are expected in New Caledonia in connection with the development there of the chrome and nickel industries.
A representative of the great German firm of Krupp travelled to Noumea by the Commissaire Ramel and arrived there on February 12.
A representative of a large Japanese group will arrive in New Caledonia in May, with the object of trying to acquire a mine in the French colony.
A third person of importance, also due to arrive in Noumea in May, to deal with mining matters, comes from Europe.
There is not too much chrome and nickel in sight in the world and the mineral wealth of New Caledonia is steadily appreciating in value. This development will serve to offset any loss which our French neighbours are likely to suffer as a result of their recent aban donment of the gold standard.
