Canefields Situation
From Our Own Correspondent
Suva, May 21.
THE Sigatoka branch of the Kisan Sangh, one of the Indian cane farmers’ organisations in Fiji, has issued a denial of an earlier report that the Sigatoka committee had refused to follow the advice of the main group (of which Mr. N. S. Chalmers is president) and support the appeal to farmers to stop planting cane this season.
No other major points are referred to in the Sigatoka committee’s statement, and the general situation remains the same, with planting continuing, for the most part, despite attempts at dissuasion.
