For French Pacific

Joy has been expressed in the French Pacific Territories at the decision—a nnounced in New Caledonia—to introduce, in June, a system under which oversea re mittances may be made by Post Office order, or cheque.

Hitherto, exchange of this kind has been the monopoly of the Benque dTndo Chine. Residents of New Caledonia have resented the fact that a medium of transferring money cheaply (through the Post Office), which operates in most non-French Territories, has been denied to them.
