Honest traders had asked for increased police protection, but the King Government preferred to grant the request of those who weré defrauding the public revenue. 6 Guilty knowledge even in 1923 of the frauds that were practised has been proven against the Governm beyond the shadow of a doubt. Time and in 1924 1925, the Commercial Protective Association--an 0 tion of business men--placed before Mr. King irrefutable evidences of it, that they had succeeded in tracing down at their own expense.
