Soap In Fiji
Prom Our Own Correspondent
Suva, Sep. 10.
mHE local soap shortage resulted in X sales of ordinary washing soap at 7/a bar and of soap-flakes at 10/- a packet at a recent Suva auction.
Normal prices: 1/2 to l/6i and 1/- res pectively. (Editorial Note: This seems absurd, in view of the fact that Fiji grows coconuts and anyone can make serviceable soap out of coconut oil and caustic. The catch is that all countries are short of caustic.)
