Labour From NEI.

NEW Caledonian industrialists and others hope that their labour diffi culties will shortly be solved. It was announced recently that the Netherlands Government has accepted a suggestion to discuss possible terms and conditions for the introduction of new labour from the Netherlands East Indies.

The Caledonian General Council has met to formulate proposals, and the Cale donian representatives in the French Parliament have been promised the sup port of the French Minister for Over seas Territories in solving the labour problem.

Lack of labour as well as a shortage of Australian coal supplies has been holding up mining production in New Caledonia.
