Isolated Tokelaus

THE annual official visit to the isolated Tokelau Islands, a dependency of the Mandated Territory of Western Samoa, took place recently when the Samoan Secretary of Native Affairs, Mr.

C. V. McKay, visited the group in the Government launch “Pilot”. The natives, who had been without sea communica tion with the outside world for several months, were found to be in excellent health. Owing to the state of the copra market no branch stores are being operated in the Tokelau Islands at present.
