INTERNMENT OF ALIENS.
ACT/lON IN FIJI
(Auckland r 'Star.")
SUVA (FIJI), November 18
In both Australia and New Zealand there is a good deal of feeling on the internment' question, and Fiji has probably set both countries an example in thoroughness.
When tho crew of the Seeadler made their visit here the Governor, Sir Bicklram Escott, sent Home a cable to the effect that unless he heard to the contrary he was going to intem_ the lot. The same principles up till then had been followed as were adopted in the Dominion and the Commonwealth. This left out a number of enemy origin who bad been naturalised before and during the war. Possibly they were not doing any harm, but they were a potential sou roe of danger, especially with a possible, rn:.'tder paying a visit to these islands, so the fiat went forth to intern the lot, and the lot were interned. By a recent boat to Sydney ibere fcft, under escort, twenty-nine who up till now had been allowed to remain, generally under, some form of supervision.
