New Trade For Fiji

IT was announced in Wellington on December 13 that the NZ Govern ment would allow the transfer to Queensland and Fiji of the licence for the importation of tinned pineapples from Malaya.

It should be easier to ship canned pineapples from Fiji to NZ than from Queensland to NZ, so Fiji should gather up the bulk of this valuable trade.

Mr. L. Doile is relieving Mr. J. Rutter, of Rabaul Electricity Ltd,, at Rabaul, New Britain, while the latter is on fur lough in Australia. Mr. Doile was in New Guinea a couple of years ago, in con nection with the installation of hydro electric plant in the Watut District.
