Fear From Islanders
From Our Own Correspondent
Suva, May 9.
THE uproar created by Australia’s Mr.
A. A. Cal well over the Maori ban, plus the instruction given to a high born Tongan lady married to a European, to move out of Australia, with her daughters, by September, has been fol lowed with intense interest in Fiji.
Fiji could have told Mr. Calwell that Polynesians, whether from New Zealand or elsewhere, are not at all likely to up set the White Australia policy at any time. Headaches of that sort would be
caused only by Asiatics, with their time honoured practice of squeezing in, taking possession as far as possible, increasing at a staggering rate, and then starting to squeeze other people out.
Mr. Cal well, as well as any other Aus tralians interested, should take a look at Fiji, some time.
Dr. Edouard Caillard, of New Cale donia, has been decorated with the Ameri can Liberty Medal with palm, for hazard ous work accomplished during the war in Europe. He is credited with having assisted in the escape of 87 Allied air men, whom he transported, sheltered and cared for.
