S.I. Labour Not “Dangerous”, Says Planter
IN an article in the Pacific Islands Monthly of November, 1935, referring to the unrest among plantation labourers in the Solomon Islands, our correspondent at Gizo stated that “It is reported here that Mr. Sutton, manager of Fauno plan tation, regards the situation among his labourers there as dangerous.”
Writing from Fauno Estate, Shortland Island, on March 9, Mr. H. F. Sutton says, “I have just had my attention drawn to an article in the P.I.M. in which I am reported to have said that the situation among the labour on Fauno plantation was ‘dangerous.’ I do not think that I made use of that expression, which would certainly have been an exaggeration.’’
