Noumea, Feb. 9.
THERE is some hope that the many New Caledonians stranded in Australia will soon be able to return to this country, if not by ship, then by air.
Through the intervention of the repre sentative of the French Government in the Commonwealth, an Australian com pany is said to be prepared to put a 20passenger plane at the disposal of such passengers for two or three flights, Syd ney-Brisbane-Noumea, during the present month. This should considerably relieve the situation.
With the authorisation of the Noumea authorities, Caledonians bound for Aus tralia for health or business reasons will
be taken as return passengers. The single fare is quoted at 5,670 francs. (About £A35.)
