From a Special Correspondent
Madang, Sept. 20.
SEVERAL Europeans are asking why the Administration is permitting the Asiatic section of our community to gradually invade the European area of the town. This process has been going on for some time and is now made evi dent by the erection of another Chinese store, on the end of that thin wedge of territory called Chinatown, bringing that area another step closer to the European section.
If means were adopted to make a few more allotments available to Europeans, it would be the sort of policy which one would expect the authorities to follow.
But, as it is, the Chinese traders are slowly but surely getting a strangehold on the town.
