SEARCHING FOR A POLITICAL BLUE-BIRD. Now, it happened the other
day that the "Square Deal" Party got to Taumaranui and was met with
all sotfts of requests to all of which was given ''that jocular phrase
of 'Oom Bill-" A Square Deal." To the many requests "Truth" need,
not refer, but there was one, and as it comes from the Auckland "Herald"
there should the no need of its veracity. The "Herald" reports as
follows:— Mr. Shortland introduced Mr. George Sang, an educated Chinaman and highly-respected citizen of Taumaranui who wished to bring over to New, Zealand his wife and child, and two nephews from China. The Prime Minister said if Mrs. Sang paid the poll-tax and passed the education test she would be admitted.
Mr. Shortland thought that m the circumstances the conditions should be
dispensed with. Mr. Massey said the matter would bo looked into. Miv
Shortland, "Truth" might mention, is a local lawyer, otherwise some
people might want to know why Mr. Geo. Sang,
an educated Chinkie. etc., didn't ask for a "Square Deal" of his, own
accord. In the face of things/ however, Lawyer Shortland has some
assurance; m -fact, "Truth" doesn't hesitate to declare that Mr.
Shortland, m making such a request of the Price Minister, has a pretty'
tough cuticle. Why should Mrs. Geo. Sang and his child and two nephews, be admitted free of the poll-tax, ,and
all conditions dispensed with? Why could not Mr. Massey have saild at
once that
THE THING WAS IMPOSSIBLE;
that we have too many
Chinamen as it is in the country, and that there would be no general
regret expressed if the Chinaman m New Zealand took up his capital and,
allowed himself to be driven out. "Truth" doesn't quite follow Mr.
Massey. How does he propose to have the matter looked into? Does he
propose to ascertain if there is a way of defeating the excellent
provisions of our immigration laws? Is the great statesman finding
himself up against treaty rights, or is it that' he Is not capable of
giving, a straightforward answer? "Truth" wonders! It will be an
exceedingly sorry day for Mr Massey Whenever he sets out to set at
nought our White Now Zealand policy. This matter, on Mr Massey's
promise, wants watching. NZ Truth , Issue 411, 10 May 1913, Page 4

The tragic, letter left behind by a Chinese, Chung Jack, who.was found hagging in his house in Wellington: Last year, one evening in August or September while I was listening to the radio broadcast of the Sino-Japanese war news, some fiendish, heartless thief came and stole my money," he wrote. "I dared not say anything, I could. but grieve in silence. It was like closing things behind locked doors,.for who would have believed the theft. I have no means of replacing the sum now. Before me there is only the road of: death. My shame is so great that I cannot face my friends, so I have decided to commit suicide. In my death. I wish my brothers and sisters continuous. and unlimited success and prosperity, so that even in my grave my heart could yet expand with happiness. My grief cannot be fully conveyed, nor is my bitterness
ex- pressible. Alas to think it should end like this. This is my farewell note,'
written in..tears." Cairns Post Monday 4 April 1938
