Conditions in French Oceania

From Our Own Correspondent

Papeete, June 6.

OUR censorship is strict. I may not write concerning military matters.

I may say this, however. Our old people have told us that the best period in Tahitian history was when officers of the French Navy governed the Colony.

I believe them. As you know, our pre sent governor is a naval officer.

Our community is tranquil. Thanks to the generosity of the British Government and the Governments of the Pacific Commonwealths, we in Tahiti are well provided for.
