FJI’S new Governor, Sir Harry Luke, who has been Lieutenant-Governor of Malta for eight years, will arrive in Suva by the “Niagara” on September 16. from Vancouver. He will leave England for Canada by the “Empress of Britain” on August 20.
The retiring Governor (Sir Arthur Richards), K.C.M.G.. sailed on July 22 from Fiji for New Zealand, where he joined the “Rangitiki” for the West Indies.
Since the departure of Sir Arthur Richards, the Hon. Juxon Barton, C.M.G.. 0.8. E., has been acting as Governor; and the Colonial Treasurer, Hon. J. Craig, has temporarily taken over the position of Colonial Secretary of Fiji.
It was reported, late in July, that the British Administration of Malta was be ing attacked by the Italian newspaper “La Tribuna”.
Sir Harry Luke was especially singled out for attack. The decision to make Maltese the official language of the Law Courts, in place of Italian, still rankles.
