Young Tongan In England

IT is reported in London newspapers that a young Tongan named Tasi Kalaniuwalu, who is a cousin of the Queen of Tonga, is returning to Tonga via New Zealand, as a steward on one of the big passenger boats. He has been in England for 18 months studying farm ing, engineering and hotel management, and he has made many friends.

Because Tongans are very rarely seen in England—some people said that this was the first Tongan ever to visit Eng land, but that, of course, is absurd—a good deal of fuss was made over Tasi, and he has been feted, and featured in broadcast interviews. He told the news papers that he is returning to Tonga to ooen a hotel of his own. and to assist Tongan farmers in adopting more ad vanced methods of agriculture.
