Import Watersiders Suggested
“The man who is employed on the wharf in the Cook Islands works very hard and receives only seven shillings a day. Out of such a wage he does not have very much to spend on himself,” said Judge J. Harvey, I to the Whakatane Rotary Club on j Tuesday night. After Judge Harvey had concluded his address, Rotarian L. Buddie suggested that it might be a good scheme to have some of these Cook Island waterside workers immigrate to New Zealand, where ! they could be employed on this country’s waterfront, a place where hard work appeared to be unknown. The Islanders would probably make | an improvement.
