Ratana Pa Trading

Sir, —Re Te Ariki Ernesti’s reply to the above subject. Firstly he mentions abtfut morehus seeking individual gain. To this portion I definitely agree, but they are all on his side, because he went on to say about the Ratana Trust Board’s registered by-laws, a copy of which I have, but cannot locate any mention or clauses that debars outside people from vendoring their goods in the Ratana Pa area. Another point he raised was the Ratana Trust Board treading on some business people’s pet corns. I can assure Te Ariki Ernest! that no other person but He Morehu drafted and wrote it. So I plead to Te Ariki Ernesti to come out in the open and not use the Ratana Trust, Board as a shield and mete out such drastic and abortive ideas.

Lastly, I am also amused at 'his mention of the Gestapo Naziism control which he says was pakeha and foreign affair and not of genuine Morehu. Do not forget the one that is responsible for this action is the Gestapo of the Ratana Pa and dishes out this idea of “Don’t do as I do, but do as I tell you.” I am also very interested in the welfare of the Pa, but under the circumstances, once bitten twice shy.—l am, etc., HE MOREHU.
