Some time' ago some of the returned soldiers and their supporters in Christchurch were' making a considerable noise because a Chinese fruiterer had opened a shop quite near to the fruitshop of a returned Digger. At first the idea w as that the Chink should be jugged, but a more moderate state of opinion set in, and. the "Repatriation Board decided that, if this Chink could not be outed, the Government should not allow anyone to compete in any trade with a returned soldier.

SOLDIERS IN BUSINESS. CHINESE COMPETITION. DISCUSSION BY ASSOCIATION. [BY TELEGRAPH.— CORRESPONDENT.] CHBISTCHUECH. Saturday. The competition of Chinese against returned soldiers in the fruit and greengrocery business, a matter that has been discussed by the Canterbury Repatriation Board, was mentioned at a meeting of the Returned Soldiers' Association to-day. Several members expressed themselves against Chinese bein allowed to set up in business in opposition to soldiers who had fought for their country, while others considered that as Chinese had paid the poll tax they were entitled to trade where they pleased. The following motion was passed That this meeting deplores the fact that a white man should ;-ee fit to let his shop to Chinamen to open a fruit business in direct opposition to two returned soldiers already doing business iq Christchurch."
