Interdict On Tahiti

Travellers

From Our Own Correspondent

Tahiti, Dec. 5.

PASSENGER travel to and from the United States is now interdicted. No one can enter this French Colony without special permission from the Gov ernor. Any US citizen going from here to the States will have to remain there until the end of the war—a US regula tion.

Should this state of affairs be main tained until a new generation shall have arrived at maturity, the blight of 20 years of tourism may be eradicated, and the islands will have recovered a measure of their primitive charm.
