Labourers
M Charles Graziani Of
Santo, New Hebrides, who some months ago tried to solve his plantation labour problem by bringing in Italians, will not be the loser over his venture although the men refused to stay on the job.
Most of the men have been absorbed by the Condominium Gov ernment and are repaying the expenses incurred by M. Graziani.
One or two have already made full reimbursement, which is only right.
A couple tried to “hop” the Italian ship Orizia, recently in port, but failed. The gendarme was on the lookout. A few, it has been reported, have returned to Italy, legally. Those who remain appear to be good types. One, at least, is contemplating matrimony so it seems as if the boys will be
absorbed into the community.-
