Result of Official Weakness

Letter to the Editor.
AS a planter of seven years’ experience in the Mandated Territory, I was astonished to read in your February issue the letter signed “N.G. Planter” on the Larkin Case.
In my humble opinion any planter who thinks that James Larkin was justly treated is of such an unjust and cruel nature, that he himself would be cap able of almost any crime had he been placed in the position James Larkin un doubtably was.
The whole trouble was caused through the weakness of Government officials in Manus in dealing with unruly natives.
I am etc.,
Another N.G. Planter.
