AN aerial photograph of the business section of Suva, capital of the British Crown Colony of Fiji. Suva has a population of about 30,000, including a large number of Indians, who are engaged in retail trade.

The town has many fine buildings and hotels, and it is expected that, once the world shipping position eases, Suva will become known to many overseas travellers.

Already, because of its geographical position, Fiji has become the aerial cross-roads of the South Pacific. —Photo by Stinson Studios.
