"Is this a Communist settlement!" asked Mr J. H. Salmon, at the Wanganui Magistrate's Court, when a solicitor was questioning a native inhabitant of Rataruv with a view to ascertaining whether the Maori could liquidate a
debt. It -was stated that, like others, the Maori worked for Katana, and received nothing over and above his keep. "All I can say is that he is a fool,'' said the Magistrate. "He should be paid for his labour, and if he is not paid, I am not going to allow him to defeat his creditors." An order was made for the pavment of the debt by instalments, his' Worship remarking as a parting shot that the debtor could "get it out of Katana."
