Side By Side

Vila, Dec. 27.

WITH Britain and France fighting side by side in the war against Hitlerism, the friendly feeling between the two communities in the New Hebrides has been marked. This has manifested it self in the newly-formed “Committee du Secours pour les Mobilises”, an organisa tion to raise funds for comforts for .soldiers in the field, and assisting "soldiers’ dependents who may be in need.

The Committee is composed of repre sentatives of all sections of both nation alities. The French and British Resident Commissioners are honorary presidents.
