Territories
A FIJI correspondent, in reporting the engagement of Miss Jenny Bryce, of Navua, to Mr. Harry Whitford, of New Zealand, says: “Many of these fine young men from other countries, who have come to these tropical islands on war duties, will certainly return, as new colonists, when the war is over.”
That is something of which Islands people are only now becoming aware.
Thousands of young men from United States, Australia and New Zealand are seeing the Islands for the first time; and the Pacific Territories, in consequence, are receiving such publicity now as was never dreamed of. It is certain that, as soon as the war is over, thousands of men will want to return to the Islands, to establish industries and make their homes there.
Every territory in the South Pacific now is subject to these conditions, and every territory should benefit accordingly.
