For Samoan Plantations
From Our Own Correspondent
Apia, Apr. 10.
A SECOND contingent of 20 labourers from Niue, with their families, have arrived in Western Samoa, to provide plantation labour and fill the places of the Chinese who have been repatriated.
The Niueans are not comparable as workers, with the Chinese, but they are much better than nothing; and the in auguration of this system shows that the N.Z. Government has acknowledged the fallacy of its argument that all necessary plantation labour could be supplied by Samoans and Euronesians.
Miss Ella Small, M.A., of the Mitchell Library staff, Sydney, has been appointed assistant secretary of the Pacific Islands Club.
