NOT Write It

MR. EDWIN GOLD, of Mangaia, Cook Islands, wants it known that the article that appeared on page 121 of August PIM, with the letters “EG” appended, was not written by him. The views expressed therein are not his—to the contrary.

What is more, he does not believe that the figures quoted there are authentic.

The article was written by a staff member: the initials got there by accident, and for this we are sorry.

But as far as the article itself is concerned, it stands, as is. p ur opinion then was, and still remains, that if Mr. Syme or anyone else can help the Cook Islanders to help themselves, then it will be an ex cellent thing. Like a number of other interested parties we now wait with open minds to see the re sult of this Mangaia experiment.
