p. 76 · Read in the full issue
THREE native seamen, to whom Aus tralian police and press refer as “Fijian,” were arrested in Sydney recently and charged with having murdered two Indians in Adelaide on De cember 8. Sydney detectives flew to New Zealand about the same time to arrest two other native seamen on the same charge. , . ..
The five men were members of the crew of the “Lautoka.”
Elsewhere in this issue, our Fiji corres pondent denies that these men were Fijians. He says that one of them was a Solomon Islander, one Gilbertese and the other part-Gilbertese.
