NEW HEBRIDES REPORT
MAY NEVER BE PUBLISHED IN GOVERNMENT’S HANDS The report of the commission to inquire into the conditions of British settlers in the New Hebrides reached New Zealand by the Tofua, and is now under consideration by the New Zealand Government. It will also be considered by the British and Australian Governments.
Mr. H. G. Pilling, who was secretary to the commission, is at present spending three months’ furlough in New Zealand. He states that it is improbable that the report will ever be published.
The commission, on which Sir George Richardson represented New Zealand, visited Santo, Malekula, and Tanna, in the group, travelling on the H.M.S. Diomede.
Mr. Pilling remarked that the fertility of the islands was astounding, and there were great possibilities in them for the cultivation of tropical pi'oducts. Their prosperity was assured while the price of copra kept up.
