Mrs. Carl Hebenstreit, better known as Johnny Frisbie of the South Seas, sent this piece to “PIM” after reading of petitions sent to the UN by two Europeans living in the Cook Islands, in which they asked the UN to “spare a thought ’ for the Cook Islanders, who had nobody to speak for them (“PIM”, Sept., p. 21). “For years I have been wanting to write this article,” said Mrs. Hebenstreit, in a cover ing letter. “I have no wish to de fend my views on an intellectual level, since the article is an emotional one, about Cook Is lands emotions, and anyone who misses that has missed the point.”
