SUVA, March 16.

IN the middle of one of Fiji’s more or less chronic butter shortages, comes the announcement that the con trolled price of locally-produced butter has been increased another penny a pound.

The butter-consuming public, as usual, accepts the increase without a murmur.

It is worth noting, however, that no matter how drastically the unofficial butter ration may be cut by the dealers, no one ever hears of a shortage of Indian ghee—ghee being more profitable.
