Let's Blame The Germans

For Indentured Labour!

Letter to the Editor CotlLD any one of your readers en lighten me about the history of the indentured labour system and the Native Labour Ordinance of the Terri tory of New Guinea.

There was a rumour that the Germans thought of it and worked it out in blue print before 1914. And, subsequently, that the Australian Administration took it over, made a few amendments and adopted it as its own policy.

If that be true, the whole system would be German then? And in this day and age—well, I ask you!

I am, etc.,
