Dollar-Prosperity Now

Over
From Our Own Correspondent
Apia, Jan. 6.
REALISING that dollar-prosperity is definitely over, the Samoans are turning back to their normal work of producing cocoa and bananas. Recently an overseas ship lifted a large cargo of 4,000 tons of copra from Apia sheds; banana exports are also now increasing— the last shipment to New Zealand was over 6,000 cases, instead of 3,000 or 4,000, as for a long time past.
Cocoa production, too, is stimulated by the good prices being paid.
Mr. I. B. Chalmers has been appointed Secretary to the Committee administering the Fiji Servicemen’s Welfare Fund.
