Fiji And Tahiti

Suva. May 29.

FIRED with an ambition to go to Papeete for the July 14 celebrations, a Fiji woman resident has ap parently been stalled by the lack of pas senger transport. She complains that the Tourist Bureau at Suva was unable to help her; that the Union Company could tell her only that there might be transport in the not-too-distant future; and that the Suva Post Office did not know when an airletter of inquiry to the Tourist Bureau at Papeete would get there.

Editorial Note: Ships to Tahiti are still few and far between and TRAPAS, the French air company, withdrew its planes from the Noumea-Fiji-Cook Is. —Tahiti service some months ago. But see else where this issue for particulars of restora tion of air links with Tahiti.
