the news that the Indian commits
sioner has ordered the removal of
intruders from the nation. There
are six thousand of these people,
most of whom have crops planted and
should they be put out now the season is
too far advanced to enable them to raise
crops elsewhere this year, and as they
are all poor people great deprivation
and suffering must follow their eject
