THE TROUBLE AT FIJI
MATTERS QUIETING DOWX. [Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, February 24. The 'Star* correspondent -at" Suva writes:— February 14. There seems to be a likelihood of things quieting down. Matters at Lautoka, Ba Labasa, and other Indian centres are quiet; but it is the general opinion that there will be no guarantee of peaco while the leaders are left at liberty, and their early arrest or deportation is looked for. There are no grounds for alarm for general safety. All classes and the Nationalists are against the Indians. February 18. The Indians are coming in and resuming work. The Municipal Council put on 50 men on Tuesday, and many others have resumed elsewhere. All -the Lidians must be within doors by 7 o'clock, and none are allowed in Suva by day without permits. Tliis has had a very quietening effect. _ At Nausori and Nafua men are returning to work, and everything is reported quiet. There are some who predict, a recrudescence of the trouble, but the coolies have had a Mod lesson, and should give no more trouble, although there may be individual cases of repayment for injuries received.
