LOYAL TO FREE FRANCE
Continued loyalty to the cause ot Free France among the people of New Caledonia was reported by Mr. G. Step, managing-director of C. Sullivan, Limited, of Sydney, when he arrived at Auckland by the American Clipper after a business trip to Noumea. He said that about 98 per cent, of the people supported Free France.
Shortage of credits overseas was one of the problems facing New Caledonia, Mr. Step added. This was reflected in the shortage of some imported lines, notably clothing. There was not an acute shortage as yet, however, and foodstuffs and other essentials were plentiful.
