Alfred Poroi On

M. and Madame Alfred Poroi passed through Sydney in April, en route to England and France, where they will spend a brief holiday. M. Poroi, at home in Tahiti, is an exceedingly busy

man—local manager of the Union SS Co. Ltd., Mayor of Papeete and leader of the Moderate Party in the House of Assembly. He is fluent in three languages—French, English and Tahitian. Both M. and Madame Poroi are French citizens of British descent. They will return to Tahiti via USA in July.
