GIVE THE WHITE MAN A SHOW!

to thb Editor

reading a report m your .last: issue re the police interfering with the white fruit sellers m 'the streets , I. desire to place on re-: cord my contempt for the police who iha.ye s<j litUe to do that they must ■haras^ .., the white hawker of fruit. Surely the citizens of New Zealand •can give a "slop" of that description something better to do than that to pass 'away his turn on beat. Of course, it may vary the monotony of brushing flies off King Ned's uniform or going to sleep on dutz. hiit it is not altogether the thing, especially as these white hawkers ate not sending their gold to Chowland, but no doubt puttiag a- ! s]de a few quid to start m business m a shop m the by-and-bye when we get rid of John, and meanwhile supporting a white family and a white New Zealand.

I would suggest that the boys m blue who can find nothing better to do than interfering with the -white fruit hawker be told off to watch some of the white child brothels oc-: cupped by Chows. How about some, of the Chow fruit and vegetable carts that stand for hours unattended while the yellow being is making a deal with "woman, lovely woman," around at the back door ? Yes, the women are m the main the cause of the Chow making thousands of pounds m this country, and who are the cause (indirectly) of all the yellow trouble. Of course, some individuals who call themselves men are a.'j ha*. Well, it is as well they call themselves by such a term. I don't.

Allow me to digress. Kow would it -fee if we boycotted at the shrine of Bacchus and the festive hoard all those publicans who persist m employing yellow cooks to the exclusion pf the white, and how about the Cooks' and Waiters' Unions publishing a list of same. Not too bad at all.

In conclusion, let we appeal to the policeman's better nature to give the street hawker a show. He is white, and is entitled to it. Tf not, well, wp'l'l sre.— T .am, etc.,
