ISLANDS residents who want to visit England and Europe will have to show patience for some time .yet. An announcement in Suva, Fiji, on June 24, was to the effect that there was no like lihood of general improvement in the shipping or passenger prospects in the near future. It was, however, hoped that a number of sea passages to the United Kingdom via New Zealand would become available to people from Fiji who had good reasons for making the trip.
Members of the general public who wished to make such a journey within the next 12 months were asked to send their names to the Colonial Secretary in Suva, stating fully their reasons for travel.
It is believed that passages are unlikely to be made available to persons who are not domiciled in the United Kingdom— unless there are reasons of special urgency or importance.
