Unions
THE Fijians are not rapidly accepting Credit Unions, though four have been established in the Suva area since the Rev. Father Ganey, of British Honduras, at the invitation of the Government, com menced work in the Colony several months ago. He has been lecturing and explaining their advantages: there is considerable interest, and questions are asked, but action has not followed rapidly.
Although these are the First Credit Unions to be established in the South Pacific, they are already well-established in Hawaii, where 103 separate Unions were operating
successfully last year, with 62,000 members and assets of over twenty seven million dollars.
