Travel Restrictions in Fiji

From Our Own Correspondent

Suva, Jan. 17.

SOME time back a Movement Control Committee was appointed to issue permits to persons wishing to pro ceed by sea between Fiji and New Zealand.

The vessel normally plying between Auckland and Suva has had its accommo dation strained for the past several years,

owing largely to military requirements, and much difficulty has been experienced by people travelling between these countries.

It is understood that members of the Committee are dissatisfied with their difficult job and it is generally felt that the public is not altogether pleased with the members.

Direct sea transport to Australia is equally difficult.

Mr. C. Harvey has been appointed Dir ector of Agriculture in succession to Dr.

H. W. Jack. Mr. Harvey came to Fiji in 1938 as Senior Agricultural Officer, following service from 1927 to 1938 in Tanganyika.
