DOLLAR DROP PINCHES
Americans Forced Out Of French
Colony In South Seas

PAPEETE, Tahiti R.-Fall Of the
United States dollar in terms Of the
French franc has almost depopulated
the American section Of this French
South Seas colony.
Every northbound steamer carries q
fresh contingent bound for shores where
the dollar will buy something near its
value.
Converted into francs, sums that pre-
viously constituted generous income
have shrunk to q mere pittance.
During the postwar years many
Americans and Britishers came to the
French islands Of Oceania, q goodly
proportion being pensioners.
Those dependent on incomes in Eng
ush or Australian pounds were the f1rst
to leave. Tho Wholesale departure OF
Americans now has reduced the white
population to mere handful. except
Tor the French.
