Tahiti's Loyalty

THE High Commissioner for Fighting France in the Pacific, Rear-Admiral d’Argenlieu, who was on a visit to Australia in September and October, arrived in Tahiti in November and, accompanied by the Governor of French Oceania, Colonel Georges Orselli, he visited various parts of the French Col ony and everywhere was warmly greeted.

He said he was deeply touched by the Tahitians’ manifestations of loyalty and of confidence in the victory of the United Nations—which meant the libera tion of France. He brought to the people of French Oceania the greetings and the thanks of the chief of the people of Fighting France —General de Gaulle.
