From Our Own Correspondent

Rarotonga, Dec. 1.

INCREASED prices for Rarotongan fruit were announced by the Secretary of the Island Territories Department of New Z-ealand, Mr. C. McKay, when he visited Rarotonga by the first plane in November.

The price paid for Cook Island bananas would in future be increased 6d. per case; and it has been decided to pay a bonus of 1/- per case on all oranges shipped during 1944.

A second party of 13 Germans, all former residents of Samoa, were returned to the Territory from a New Zealand internment camp, in November.
