Fiji Public Relations Office to Stay
SOME doubt as to whether the Fiji Public Relations Office—which began life during the war as the Fiji In formation Office —would function indefi nitely was cleared away during the last session of the Fiji Legislative Council.
It was decided to establish the Public Relations Office as a permanent Govern ment department—since the change from war service to peace it has been func tioning as a temporary establishment.
The Office, under Mr. Harold jCooper (during the war) and more recently under Mr, Len Usher, has done a good job. Such are the complexities of running a country these days, it is necessary to have some .means of interpreting the people to the Government and, even more to the point, explaining the Government to the people. The office should also have a large part to play in tourist traffic which is expected to start moving in on the Colony as soon as travel faci lities are available.
