Warm Welcome In New Hebrides

From a Santo Correspondent [ The “Sletholm” received a \warm and interested welcome in Vila, and many businessmen flew from Santo to Vila to view the ship. They were pleased with the assorted goods on dis play.

Comment has been made on the fact that the “ Sletholm ” did not call at Santo, and this certainly was a mistake in the itinerary. Business here is much more keen than in Vila, for Santo is the economic centre of the New Hebrides and exports almost four times more produce than Vila does.
