Which statement best sums up Tailfer's point of view?

Read the excerpt from A True and Historical Narrative
of the Colony of Georgia
The First Thing he [Oglethorpe) did after he arrived in
Georgia, was to make a kind of solemn Treaty with a
Parcel of fugitive Indians ... and all of them have
been ever since maintain'd at the Publick Charge, at
vast Expence, when many poor Christians were
starving in the Colony... a larger Sum of Money has
been expended for the Support of those useless
Vagrants, than ever was laid out for the
Encouragement of Silk, Wine, or any other Manufacture
in the Colony
Oglethorpe's first treaty should have been with the
Spanish, not the Indians.
Rather than help the Indians, Oglethorpe should
have helped the settlers.
Oglethorpe was right to try to establish good
relations with the Indians.
Rather than encouraging farming, Oglethorpe
should have helped the Indians
