FIJI ISLAND MYTH
ROUTEDBY SURVEY
Pacific Group Larger Than
Hawaiians, With Many

A recent prophecy that the FIJI
Islands will one day be the center OF
a British Island Dominion" in the
Pacific seems bizarre to the average
reader chiefly because of misconcep-
tions about Fiji. says bulletin from
the National Geographic Society.
"The Fiji are tiny South Sea islets.
They are typical tropical Islands.
hot and unhealthy.
THE Fijians are saVages.
These are some of the many errors
abroad in regard to the FfJis, con-
'rinues the bulletin. IN reality the
Fijis are the largest Islands situated
well out in the Pacific. Only New
caledonia, the Solomon Islands and
the Bismarcks. all relatively close to
australia and New Guinea, are larger.
The total area of the Fijis is greater
than that of the Hawaiian Islands.
and VIII Levu. the main island OF the
Fiji group is almost exactly the same

islands. Mosquitoes are present, but
they do not transmit this and other
diseases from which Europeans suffer
in other tropical lands. Fiji is truly
white mans land
when first well known to Euro
peans, in the late eighteenth and early
nineteenth centuries, the Fijians were
the most blood-thirsty and savage
cannibals in all the South Seas. Can
'nibaiism was not only INDUCED III
when enemies had been killed. These
people actually slaughtered relatives
and companions for meat. They
quickly came under missionary in
f1uence. however, and the entire ma
tive population became Christianized.
The Ffjian of today is miid-mannered,
kindly and courteous.
Like Colony of India.
The natives are predominantly of
Melanesian stock--that is, of the dark,
negroid. kinky haired type of island
ers. There has been, however, an ad
mixture of Polynesian blood Qike that
of the Hawaiians and Marquesans)
which has given the Eijian IL better
physique and a handsomer appear
ance than those of the full-blood
Melanesians The Fijians are partic-
ularly race-consciouS, and although
Europeans have been on the islands
for a century. and although East
Indians have made up a large part
OF the population for many years,
there are practically no half-breeds.
so large is the East Indian pop
ulation that it was thought few
years ago that the island would
eventually become virtually colony
of India. There are now about co.
900 Indians, $4,000 F'ijians and $500
Europeans in Fiji During the past
few decades sugar production has
been Fits chief industry. The Fijians
do not take kindly to plantation work,
so thousands of East Indians were
imported to work in the cane fields.
They were brought in on the linden
ture' system, binding themselves to
work for five years. After the linden
ture period. thousands settled in the
islands to grow cane or rice on their
own account, or to trade among the
natives.
'The indenture system was abol-
ished in 1920 and as a result the
sugar industry seems doomed. The
government is encouraging the
growth of rubber trees, cotton and
rice. Cocoanuts have been second
only to sugar in importance. Thou
sands of tons of the dried kernels,
known as 'copra,' are exported an
nually.
Most of the valleys and hills and
of Fiji are blanketed with
luxuriant vegetation: AS in Hawaii.
however, the lee sides of the islands
have fewer trees and are covered
with long grass. Only the fringe of
the islands and the river valleys have
