Future of Fiji
" ITH Britain’s gradual withdrawal from the Pacific, Australia and New Zealand will have to take a closer interest in Fiji," said Dr K, B. Cumberland, Professor of Geography at Auckland University College, when The Listener asked him about the talks he recorded on Fiji and New Zealand. Together with other islands Fiji would be seriously affected by this withdrawal and, Dr Cumberland said, he could foresee the need for the Australian, British and New Zealand island territories in the South-West Pacific forming themselves into a federation. Dr Cumberland has visited Fiji five times in the past ten years, and was there last April as an. observer for the University of New Zealand at the South Pacific Conference .at Suva. His talks, to be broadcast by all YA and YZ stations, starting on Thursday, April 25, at 9.15 p.m., express a ‘New Zealander’s view of the place and importance of Fiji, her social and economic problems, and her military and economic ties with New Zealand. Dr Cumberland also considers the population problem in Fiji, where the Fijian and Indian races are multiplying rapidly.
