Fiji-lndian Millionaires Visit

p. 38 · Read in the full issue

Melbourne

MELBOURNE was recently visited by two Fiji Indians who have sugar plantations in Fiji and nave, in the last 40 years, built up huge sugar fortunes.

Melbourne newspapers said so, and they couldn’t be wrong.

The two millionaires, Mr. Mamji and his

friend Mr. Gulab Khan, did not look like millionaires; but few millionaires do. Nor do they appear to be the type to say they are wealthy if they are not. This interest ing fact about them was probably divined by that extra sense owned by all news paper reporters.

Newsprint is scarce and dear. But one Melbourne morning paper devoted no less than 17 inches to the visitors. Which shows that they must indeed have been VlP’s.
