From Our Own Correspondent NOUMEA, March 1.
A CONSIDERABLE number of civilian and military officials deserted their posts in New Caledonia in October, 1940, and sailed for Indo-China rather than join the resistance movement.
The General Council of New Caledonia has now asked the French Colonial Min ister to see that such people do not return to the Colony or are permitted to enter the public service.
After the liberation of Indo-China —in which New Caledonians are anxious to play a part—it is suggested that the officials who quitted the Colony be asked to explain their actions.
