ACCORDING to a reply received from the Cook Islands Department by an Aucklander last month, ho more Rarotongan girls will be permitted to leave the island to take up domestic ser vice in New Zealand. It was stated by the Department that, in view of the social and economic conditions in the islands, it has been decided to discontinue the issuing of permits to these girls.

A scheme whereby English-speaking and medically fit Raratongan girls were brought to New Zealand for domestic work, was instituted last year. No official figures of the number admitted to the Dominion have been given.
