Economics

WITH the greater part of the Fiji sugar crop allocated to Canada, New Zealand has been forced further afield for sugar supplies. Two ship ments recently arrived in Auckland from the Leeward Islands, West Indies.

The West Indies are much nearer Canada than New Zealand. Fiji is much nearer New Zealand than Can ada. In other words, both Canada and New Zealand are dragging their sugar over thousands of unnecessary miles.

It seems crazy economics. But it is a crazy world!

Mr. B. L. Gregg, Fiji Deputy Registrar-General, has been promoted to the post of Registrar-General, in which he has been acting. Mr. E. C.

Woodward, Deputy Registrar of Titles, is to be promoted to the second post in the department. The title of the post is to be changed to Senior Assistant Registrar-General.
