FUTURE OF FIJI
TRADE POSSIBILITIES. DEVELOPMENT OF EXPORTS. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, Juno 18. (Received June 18, at 10 p.m.) Air Hedstrorn, a legislator from Fiji, lecturing on Fiji’s present development and future possibilities at the Colonial Institute, emphasised that sugar, copra, and bananas were the present productions, while dairying, cotton-growing, and pineapples represented the future developments. He stated that a trial shipment of Fijian creamery butter to London had been favourably reported upon. The lecturer claimed that Fiji had always acted upon the principle recently formulated in the Colonial Office’s Konya White Paper—that tho interests of the natives were paramount. Sir Cecil Rodwell, the Governor of Fiji, who presided, paid a tribute to Mr Hedstrem as a member of one of the biggest mercantile firms in the Pacific. —A. and N.Z. Cable. ,
