INDIANS IN FIJI,
DR. DATTA FAVOURABLY IMPRESSED.
Delhi, November 13. Dr. Datta, who has returned from a tour of Australasia, gave a favourable account of the treatment accorded Indians. Referring to Fiji, he. said that it was almost impossible for Indians settled there to return to India. A few wished to do so. They considered the conditions not so good as under indentures, but they felt their self-respect was saved by their abolition.
Dr. Datta advocated their remaining in Fiji, where thev were farming successfully. and probably would form a majority of the population within 40 years, but h© considered their position should be improved in such directions as education, land tenure, and medical relief.—(Reuter.)
