A record year for A. Samoa

According to the latest annual report of America Samoa (pub lished recently), 1966-67 was a record year for the territory. A record number of tourists arrived; a record amount and value of fish products were exported; the net tonnage of vessels arriving in Pago Pago harbour was nearly double that of the previous year; a record number of planes arrived at Pago Pago airport; and the Bank of American Samoa re ported records in loans granted and in the numbers of savings and commercial accounts.
