The demographic structure of the Crown Colony of Fiji is undergoing a fundamental change which seems likely to present GB with an unusual variety of racial problems. The change involves both the Indians & the Fijians, & is of an econ nature. The first, & most immediate problem is that of land distribution. Indians, who comprise more than 49% of the pop, hold only 1.7% of the land. A further problem arises in the fact that the Indians want changes in Fiji, perhaps in the pol'al sphere, & definitely in the land system. The Fijians, however, fear competition with the increasing Indian pop, & would like to see this menace somehow lessened. The situation is, then, that one race (Fijians) is being artificially protected from being swamped by an immigrant race (Indians) that has nowhere else to go, & claims to have built up the country's orosnerity.
