will be in Suva

The next South Pacific Con ference—the 10th—is to be held in Suva, on a date to be fixed in the second half of September, 1970.

The last three conferences have all been held in Noumea, and the decision to alter the locale next year is seen as a return to the original idea of holding conferences in different terri tories.

The Ninth Conference recom mended that the Suva meeting last no more than eight working days, including a full day set aside for informal discussions.

Both Fiji and French Poly nesia volunteered to act as host for the 1970 conference. The Cook Islands has offered to host a conference as from 1973.
