r is noted, as a matter of sig nificant international trade, that British ships have been uring British goods into the lony of Fiji.
During the war years the greater rt of Fiji’s needs was supplied >m Australia, New Zealand and
North America. In 1946, only three ships came from Britain to Fiji, With 7,212 tons of cargo. But British trade recovered steadily. In 1950, nine ships landed 36,506 tons of British merchandise. In 1952 ten ships discharged in Suva 49,071 tons from the United Kingdom, A good deal of potential Aus tralian trade with Fiji has been lost because of transportation difficulties and high costs.
