HARRYING OF CHINESE
PAKAPOO AND FAN TAN
"UTTER HYPOCRISY"
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. "It's utter hypocrisy," said Mr. John Mac Gibbon at a meeting of tho Canterbury, Chamber of Commerce when he voiced his objection, to what he described as the "harrying" of Chinese ■who played pakapoo or fan tan. Mr. MacGibboii's remarks were provoked by a reference to the possibility^ of opening up an export trade with China. "It -is well known," ho said, "that in most homes in New Zealand thegambling laws are broken with impunity. This harrying of Chinese who play pakapoo and fan tan. has an effect on Chinese who are likely to buy our products. It is well known that the Chinese are among the most law-abiding people in the world, and it should be remembered that wo forced opium on them because of the profit in it. It is utter hypocrisy." ' "I doii't think pakapoo is a Chamber of Commerce matter," remarked Mr. C. P. A gar. "In so far as it affects our trade with China, it is," Mr. Mac Gibbon retorted.
