Colonial Office Plan for BSI

IT was reported from London on Decem ber 6, that the Colonial Office had outlined plans for rebuilding and developing the economic life of the lib erated islands of the British Solomons Protectorate. (See also article, p. 5.) Full details of the plan were not announced but, as a first step, a free grant has been made under the Colonial Development and Welfare Act. This is to be used for investigation into soil, mineral and forest resources.
