CONDITIONS IN RAROTONGA
EFFECTS OF TRADE DEPRESSION
(By Tolegraph—Preßs Association) WELLINGTON, This Day,
Air Ricknell, of Christchurch, who has just returned from a business trip to the islands, says Rarotonga is suffering acutely from the trade depression. Grange trees arc going back through neglect and the copra market is dead. The population, however, are not starving. Nature is supplying plenty of food—bread fruit, etc. The kindly dimate makes the lot of the unemployed easier than it would be in most other places. There is no work obtainable.
