From Our Own Correspondent APIA, August 12.
WESTERN Samoa is bearing part of the responsibility of supplying England with fats. In July, the British steamer “Hazelbank” loaded 750 tons of copra, while the “Teviotbank” left direct for England on August 12 with another 1,000 tons of Samoan copra.
The greater portion of the year’s copra crop has been bought by the British Gov ernment, while smaller portions have been sold to New Zealand and Canada.
Regular copra shipments will now go forward every month to England direct.
