Islander in Africa

“rpms is a fascinating country and I A have seen ideal places in which to pitch one’s camp,” writes Com mander William Burrows, lately of Fiji, after a lengthy wander in South Africa.

“But I have not decided yet whether I shall settle here—those damned South Sea Islands still keep me thinking.” Com mander Burrows has been doing a good deal of writing and some of his com ments on political conditions in South Africa are pertinent and pointed. He re gards Mr. Havenga as about the ablest man in the Malan Cabinet. He sends kindest regards to old Fijians.

Mr. B. Donkin, a representative of the Colonial Development Corporation, ar rived in Fiji in September to examine the Colony’s plans for hydro-electricity development. While in Fiji he will con sult Mr. Vickerman, who, on behalf of the New Zealand firm of Vickerman and Lancaster, reported on proposed schemes to the Government of Fiji in the early part of this year.
