His Second Visit
France's Minister for Overseas Territories, Mr. Louis Jacquinot, es tablished a record in September when he became the first French Minister to pay a second visit to France's Pacific territories. Mr. Jacquinot visited Tahiti, Makemo and Rangiroa (Tuamotus), Nukuhiva, Ua-Pou and Hiva Oa (Marquesas), Wallis and Futuna, New Caledonia and the New Hebrides.
Mr. Jacquinot's visit to the Mar quesas was the first ever made by a French Minister. In New Caledonia, he attended ceremonies marking the 110th anniversary of France's taking possession of that territory.
