Editorial critique of the few Maori who prepare flax fibre for sale to buy Pakeha clothing; attributes the deficiency to laziness and uncivilised behaviour; describes the many Pakeha goods available in exchange for flax fibre. Discusses the reputation of the Maori people as agriculturists but reasons that Maori behaviour illustrates laziness; discusses the probability that Maori will gain the reputation of raising criminals, associating with uncivilised Pakeha, and being corrupt; discusses flax fibre as a commodity preferable to potatoes.
