Large Cargoes Now Go to France
From Our Own Correspondent
Papeete, June 1.
ALL copra produced in French Oceania, is now destined for export to France.
A ship which arrived in May via Noumea took on a large cargo of copra for transport to France, by way of Pan ama.
A number of Europeans—who have been eagerly waiting for an opportunity to get to the States—took passage on this ship to Panama, where they hope to be able to find transportation to either the East or West Coast of the USA.
The “Sagittaire,” on its return voyage from Noumea, will lift another cargo of copra for France.
Later, French ships—at approximately monthly intervals—will call at Papeete for copra cargoes.
As from June 25, the status of the Chinese Vice-Consulate in Apia, Western Samoa, has been raised to the status of full Consulate. Mr. C. H. Cheng has been appointed Consul. He is the only diplo matic representative in Western Samoa.
