Viet Moves Again Soon?
According to reports from Paris, the repatriation of the re' maining Vietnamese from New Caledonia and the New Hebrides to North Vietnam will begin again in about two months.
The French Prime Minister indicated this to a delegation from French Polynesia which was in Paris recently for an economic conference.
A Noumea report said most local people were treating the statement with a grain of salt.
The repatriation of the Vietsu stopped suddenly in April after a chartered ship, the “Eastern Queen”, had already made three\ voyages taking 1,500 Viets from\ Noumea, and was about to < embark the first contingent of about 400 from the New' Hebrides.
