Tahitians For New
ISPONSIBLE men in Tahiti are perturbed at the recent migra tion of Tahitian labour to the Hebrides where apparently, high ;s are being offered in an en
deavour to overcome the acute labour shortage there- When the Sagittaire sailed from Papeete on January 5, a party of 16 men and 11 women departed for Santo. Previously two other ships had taken 40 or 50 persons.
Deputy Pouvanaa a Oopa is said to oppose permitting this migration while the Tuamotus are short of plantation labour and Makatea still obtains labour for its phosphate workings from the Cook Islands.
