"No Clothes, No Taxes,

Please!"

An American Couple's Vain Search In the Pacific

A RESIDENT of Milkaukee, USA, and his wife, are seeking a home in the South Pacific where they may escape some of the restrictions and unpleasant ness of “civiliastion.” “We view the nude body as good and wholesome,” they write. “Our minds are clean —so were the natives, before the white man con taminated them.”

In asking the PIM for information'and advice, they say that these are their needs: • Climate: Healthful, with no un usual perils to health or safety like malaria, hookworm, etc., and warm the year around. • Soil: Fertile enough to grow a variety of plants and foods, so that good health can be maintained. • No laws, no taxes, no white men, no restrictions of any kind. • Natives, women as well as men, to wear nothing above the waist, and very little, if anything below it; and if possible to somewhat resemble whites. • Where we can live the year around nude, without being molested, and enjoy sunshine, freedom and fresh air, and the natural life.

We have told the Americans, with some regret, that there is no place in the South Pacific which can conform to these specifications. There seem to be clothes, laws and taxes everywhere, now.
