Force Decree On Collecting Natives Tax
Papua New Guinea natives who refused to pay their £2 personal tax could be charged with criminal behaviour, the assistant Administrator said after a civil court decision. Brigadier Cleland ordered District Commissioners to use force if necessary to collect the tax amid incidents near Rabaul. The Navuneram tribe resisted, while Raluana and others largely paid through local councils. Patrols reported smooth collection in the Pomio area with signs of a better life among inland communities.
