I
think
the
time
to make
a start
is right now;
there
are about
ter cases
waiting to have
some
|
onz to, prosecute;
apart
from
Lawyer
I
Stakemann
t :ere is no oneelse that could
|
be
commissioned
to
prosecute
and
that
|
1s one of the reasons
we nave at this time
|
to have
a Government
Atiornev.
Every
|
wan
on this
isiand
18 his
own
atiorney;
there should
be
one
ceniral
office vihere
|
people’ean
go
to for
advice.
There
cer-
talnly is need
for
a
Gevernment
