Fiji gets a word in
Calling for “a more practi cal form of government” in the New Hebrides, Fiji’s spokes man at the United Nations, Mr. Satya Nandan, told the UN’s Special Committee on Colonialism during a discus sion on the New Hebrides’ future, that Fiji hoped the three separate administrations responsible for governing the condominium would soon be reduced to one. “Such a constitutional structure is not only cumbersome, but is an impediment to the political and economic development of the territory,” he said. He hoped the indigenous people would be given the “fullest opportunity to participate in the running of their own country with a view to their
attaining independence.”
