Two Interesting Spc
TWO more glossy-productions that
have been issued by the South Pacific Commission this month are: Food Plants of the South Sea Islands, by Emile Massal and Jacques Barrau; and Economic Aspects of the Coconut Industry in the South Pacific, by E. J. E. Lefort.
Considerable use of photographs and diagrams has been made in both publications, the first of which sells for 6/- Stg.; and the latter for 4/- Stg. Both are of much general interest to Pacific residents.
Rather oddly, both publications are prefaced by a small note to the effect that although they are pub lished by the SPC, the SPC does not accept responsibility for the statements contained therein.
As the authors are all permanent members of the Commission, and as their subjects can scarcely be called controversial, it seems unnecessarily cautious.
