Landlord Went

Too Far

From a Suva Correspondent An official committee which sat in Fiji to inquire into agri cultural landlord and tenant matters came to the conclusion that there were many unscrupu lous landlords, who went to al most any lengths to exploit their tenants. There were examples quoted of landlords threatening tenants with notice unless they handed over a third of their pro duce profits.

But other landlords served notice to quit on such grounds as these: • Because the tenant demanded receipts for rent; • Because he refused to sell his rice crop to his landlord; • Because he failed to provide free services to the landlord; and— • Because the tenant refused to provide his daughter as mistress for the lardlord!
