VIOLENT LITERATURE.
ARRIVING FROM INDIA. PROHIBITED IN FIJI. (From Our Own Correspondent.) SUVA, July 15, A great deal of very violent literature is being circulated in Fiji. It comes from India, and among the illustrations are pictures of white men being flogged by Indians, and others where Indians stand with their feet on the necks of white people. The literature is violently Asiatic. India for the Indians, Asia for the Asiatics —all part of the propaganda fomented just now in Asia to overcome the whites. The Government had no power to stop the entrance of the stuff, which came by the caseload, so an Order-in-Council was at once passed prohibiting any further importation, but it appears that the ordinance gives no power to make an order retrospective or to punish any persons having any such literature in their possession. So the stable door has been locked after the steed has gone, and a great deal of trouble is going to result through the short-si.htedness of our legislators. The Indians are in such a discontented state that a propaganda such as this may be the needed torch to set the place in a blaze.
