FOLLOWERS OF RATANA.
■ - NON-CO-OPERATIVE SPIRIT. CENSUS PAPERS REJECTED. [BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT. ] TOKAANU, Tuesday. Evidence of a new trend in the Ratana movement is apparent in the difficulty that is being experienced in this district in getting followers of Ilatana to accept their census schedules. Some have refused point blank to accept the schedules, but wiser counsels may yet prevail. A number of Ratana supporters have declared that they will not attend the meeting called under the Native Land Claims Adjustment. Act, 1924, to go into the Lake Taupo fishing rights question, but it is not anticipated that the proceedings will be hampered l\v their absence. Ratana has a considerable following in the Taupo country. It is difficult to obtain any information from Ratana'ji disciples, but apparently they are being influenced in the direction of adopting the non-co-operation tactics followed recently in India by the followers of Ghandi.
