France as a Colonizer.
In an article on French colonial af
fairs Le Temps of Paris gives the {ol
lowing statisties: In 1901, and during
the first ten months of 1902, 300 fami
les emigrated to Indo-China, with a
capital of 240 500f.; 213 families went
to Madagascar, carrying with them
381.000f,, and 156 families sought »

of 314.000f. Only 37 families went tc

Le Temps augurs favorably from tha
immigration in the “Little France of
the Pacific,” and it thinks that the
jaland’s resources will be rapidly de
veloped. especially as no convicts have
been sent to New Caledonia since
1867. In a very short time the con
. viets will all be concentrated at Bow
rail and at the lle Nou, and colonists
will be the zole occupants of New
Caledonia. ’
