Abstract / Summary: **The image(s) of the document may be omitted here because of copyright considerations** Six typed pages, with a hand-written cover page, contain extracts from a report by H. E. Maude, then commissioner for native lands in the Gilbert Islands, on colonization of the Phoenix Islands and the surplus population of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands, November 19, 1937. The extract concentrates on population pressure in the Gilbert Islands, caused at least in part by British colonization, and population control measures such as war, infanticide, emigration and, especially, abortion.
