At one time no doubt all the natives practised cannibalism, but now all the central and eastern tribes have given it up. In the western part it is still practised, and it is not safe to visit some of the native villages there unless properly guarded and well name. Life is not valued very highly by the natives as a rate; although they possess a certain kind of rough leve and affection for each other, it is rather of a tran- sient character. If a man dies they mourn for him a whole night, but if a woman dies an hour or two of wailing seems to meet the ouse. Par enta sell their daughters other natives for small considerations, and a few sticks of tobacco would be sufficient to induce a married man to part with one or more of his wives.

In conclusion Lord Devonport says: "Tho task we have to grapple with is not a simple ono. We have to make good the accumulated arrears of development occasioned by 25 years Ls of stagnation. We, have also to take a bold and long view of the possible needs of the future. As to how far ahead our conceptions will carry it is impossible to say but judging from what has happened within the last few years it certainly is beyond my power to predict with Buy certainty what will be. opments and growth in the size of shipping in the requirements of this port to mest flac de vele the next generation. That the growth will be continizous, both in the volume of trade and the size of vessols, I am confident. This programme when completed wil ee tainly bring the Port to the foremost position. It will be the respon sibility of those who follow us to keep it there. I venture to hope that the General Purposes Committee will giro continuous consíduation to the submissions, so that at the earliest pos- sible moment their recommendations may be presonted to the Authority, in order that sucki programme na may be sanotioned shall be put in hand with the least possible delay.
