Relations Are

The Western Pacific High Commissioner, Sir David Trench, speaking in Noumea in October, paid a compliment to the excellent relations existing be tween the French and British members of the New Hebrides Condominium.

He said as British High Com missioner he was called on to collaborate with French officials in the New Hebrides and he had found this a joy. Thanks to the excellent relations, the French and British had been able to carry on a realistic programme together which had given pro ductive results.

He said he regretted that publicity was given to difficulties that arose, and none to the excellent personal relations.

Sir David was in Noumea to attend the 25th session of the South Pacific Commission.
