There was also a big drop in Imports of sugar.

FRENCH WANT CHANGE IN

NEW HEBRIDES.

Proposals that the New Hebrides, the great group of formerly Ger- man Pacific islands situated be- tween New Caledonia and Fit should be divided amicably between France and Great Britain, putting an end to the joint rule which at present governs the archipelago, are being brought before the French Government by French colonists..

The petitionere desire that the archipelago should be cut into two, the northern part being handed over completely to France and the southern becoming absolutely Bri tish territory. Their argument is that the condominium is an unsatis factory arrangement to both parties and has outlived its usefulness..

British colonists in these out-of- the-wry Pacific islands have mot with nothing but ill-success owing to their being unable to recruit aufficient labour. On the other hand the French colonists since 1920 have prospered and become rich owing to the fact that they have been able to import more than 4,000 labourers from French Indo-China and can draw, in fact, all the labour they need from thin asino source. The. French exports from the New Hebrides, it is added, are more than double, the British exports.

There are 800 settlers in the archipelago, of whom only 850 are British-mostly Australiana. The French settlers are mostly in the northern section of the archipelago and the British in the southern section.
