Like tlie Chinese, the Indian is an adaptable person, and there are few trades that caine amiss to him. He has shown his versatility in Fiji, where he is rapidly developing a Little India in tho Pacific. There are 75,117 Indians in the colony. Of that number 100-1 are storekeepers, including 47 holders of wholesale licenses. There were, in 1929, 754 individual holders of drivers' licenses for public motor vehicles, and -73 for private vehicles. The corresponding figures for 1930 wero 724: and 43;>, and 377 cars and 135 motor-lorries wero Indian owned. The driving cf motor transport for hire is largely an Indian monopoly in Fiji, and the number cl passenger lorries on the main road 3 is increasing rapidly.
