Abstract
This source, written by a professional ethnologist, deals with the economic situation of the Marshall Islanders, both historically and in the present day. Heavy emphasis is placed on the modern economic activities. A rounded description is given of the islands and cultural background, followed by detailed discussions of property rights, labor, foreign trade, and the processing and manufacture of items for foreign trade. Descriptions are included of modern native industries and the products involved. Pp. 111-145, and an appendix have been omitted from the files, since the former deals with recommendations for action and the latter deals with a native land transfer legal document.
