(4) How much anti-American
feeling is there in Britain now
(October 1945)? We get varying
reports from people returning.
Ans.—We find little outright
anti-American feeling, but some
fear among the British themselves
that there may be an increase in
it because so many people are ut

criticism of this country and by
the difficulty of arranging a loan.
It is felt to be rather unfair that
the Palestinian problem and the
question of providing a refuge for
homeless Jews should, for in

American politicians can criticize
Britain and gather votes for the

TAHITI—This island paradise
has a housing shortage too.
Rents have climbed to levels
nevej; before experienced, and
Utopia-seekers who came here to
get away from such things are dis
mayed. So many of them are clam
oring for steamer passage home,
and so little passenger space is
I available on ships calling here,
that the would-be exodus is tak
ing on tinges of panic.
Rationing has been discontinued
and shops are displaying an unac
customed variety of new merchan
dise, but prices are steep and only
add to the discouragement of those
who picked Tahiti as a haven of
(picturesque and inexpensive liv
ing.
On top of everything else, the
driest season in 25 years is parch
ing the countryside and water is
scarce, especially for bathing.
There is plenty of salt water tn
. the lagoons, but they are too full
i of octopi for swimming parties.
However, letters are still com
ing here by every mail from dis
i tant mainland cities, inquiring
about the low cost of living and
I other advantages of retirement in
Tahiti—away from it all.
