Tahiti To Reopen

It was announced in Papeete in October that the United States would reopen its consulate in that town.

Consulate staff will be composed of three American diplomats. Mr.

George Gray, US Consul in Suva, went to Papeete in October to make arrangements for the reopening.

The consulate was closed in 1948 for economic reasons. Since then Tahiti has taken on greater impor tance in American eyes. America's first consul in Tahiti, J. A. Moeren hout, a Belgian, was appointed in 1835. He was followed by 27 con suls, vice-consuls or consular agents before the consulate was closed down.
