There are a few Chinese in nearly every township. They are mostly Cantonese and are engaged in Vegetable gardening or laundry work. They seem to be prosperous. Notwithstanding a capitation tax of £100 on every Chinese who en. fers the country they are still steadily coming in. Personally, I think they find q suitable sphere and do a necessary work here and are decent law-abiding citizens. There is a predjuice against them which is unjustified. I suppose it is the result rather than the cause of the White New Zealand policy. What New Zealand needs is labour, but no Asiatic need apply.
