HIT BY DEPRESSION
Norfolk Island Not Still Taxless Paradise Canberra, March 20. The Administrator of Norfolk Island, Captain C. R. Pinney, in his annual report, states that the onset of the depression has taken the gilt from the island’s reputation as a taxless paradise. The poor prices for produce sent to Sydney, and New Zealand’s embargo on the island’s fruit and vegetables are causes of this setback.
Captain Pinney added that the heavy decline in the export trade had caused some settlers to leave the island.
