RATANA HITS BACK
EMBARGO ON WANGANUI BUSINESSES.
RESULT OF PROSECUTION.
WANGANUI, November 25. There.is a general wail among business men in Wanganui owing to an embargo having been put on Wanganui by Ratana, whose followers are not allowed to trade with Wanganui. This-is the result of the- recent prosecution of Ratana. There are some 600 permanent residents of the pa, besides a large number of others- resident in the district, and most of their trade cam e to Wanganui. Some four years ago a similar embargo was put on, Marton is now rejoicing that the business has been deflected in that direction.
There was a humorous setting at Ratana yesterday when a Wanganui fishmonger went out with his cart well loaded up with shark and other delicacies, and was chased outside the gates.
