Papeete, June 1.
UNDER the auspices of the Govern ment, Tahiti has organised an Exposition, which will be held in Papeete from July 13 to 23. The Gover nor, Colonel Georges Orselli, is patron; M. Lestrade is president; and M. Alfred Poroi (Mayor of Papeete) and M. Robert Charon are vice-presidents. The Expo sition is divided into the following sec tions: Agriculture and Planting: Com mercial, Industrial and Technical; Fish ing; Art and Curios; Sporting; Educa tional; and Tourisme and Propaganda. It is hoped thus to make known the natural and developed resources of the Colony, and its ability to provide for its own needs under wartime difficulties.
