The Jew As A Coloniser
p. 55 · Read in the full issue
Letter to the Editor WILL you please publish this in answer to an article in the June “P.I.M.”— “Settlers Wanted”, by “Safety First”.
I am a Jew. and there are other Jews on this goldfield. All of us. I am sure, can claim to be honest, industrious, and a commercial benefit to New Guinea and we sign our names.
As for the other race—Chinese—from what I know of them they are honest, hard-working and.business-like, and also an asset to New Guinea.
“Safety First” seems to be suffering from an inferiority complex: or is he just afraid of the Jews? It seems that, like Hitler, because he is afraid of the Jews, his only outlet is persecution.
For centuries past. Jews have been per secuted by men like “Safety First”. On this goldfield. Jew, Gentile, and Chinese do business together and come out in the open for the world to see that they are men. Now, “Safety First”, take your cue from the Morobe goldfield, and you may change your opinion of the Jew.
I afn, etc.,
