Description
Excerpt from France and England in the New Hebrides: The Anglo-French Condominium
The fact of these three Groups consisting of a large number of comparatively small islands is a point of capital importance. It is the explanation of many of the difficulties of administration which beset the Government, and of many of the difficulties of com merce which try the settler. It is this, moreover, that distinguishes them sharply from neighbouring groups such as Fiji, New Caledonia and the Solomons. Fiji, it is true, consists of many more islands than the New Hebrides, but two of them are of such pre dominant size as completely to overshadow the remainder. New Caledonia is really one large island and a number of islets, while the large islands of the British Solomons Protectorate number only six.
