Editorial Note

The sending of native students om P-NG to Fiji for specialised aining is probably one of the most tiolesome contributions the former jrritory can make to the orderly Ivancement of its indigenous ople.

The state of advancement of the erage P-NG native is about 50 ars behind that of the average jian (and in this we count only ose P-NG natives who are in con st with Europeans—the rest are antless years behind that).

From the Fijian, the intelligent ,puan can learn how to accept acefully that part of Western ilisation he requires, and, for the it, retain his own innate dignity d self-respect. For in Fiji the ich maligned British colonial ministration has accomplished the possible—has moulded, taught, ided, pushed, prodded and babied mg, an indigenous population it, after 80 years, is solidly, nost fanatically, loyal to all ngs British and to the Crown. fhis must be unique in Colonial tory, where the usual pattern is hate those who guide you and, ile receiving the benefits, to plot I revolution.
