MAORIS AND FOREST.
I quite agree with "Kangitane" re the Urewera Forest. If Mr. Kealey and your other correspondents on this matter are so insistent upon the preservation of this forest, and so concerned about the country surrounding it as they would have us believe, then why on earth don't they offer to purchase this forest and be done with it? It is all very fine lor these "forest enthusiasts" to say what the Maori must do, and must not do, with his land because of the likelihood of this or that happening to the whole countryside; but how is the poor Maori going to got on in the meantime? I suppose your "forest enthusiasts' do not consider this part of the matter their concern. However, if their banking accounts are in any way commensurate with their ability and readiness to criticise the Maori and insist upon the course of action he must take, then it should be no hardship whatsoever for them to produce sufficient funds with which to purchase this forest. I understand the owner would be prepared to sell if approached on thematter, so let your "forest enthusiast* .act now! M.-RUAHEtfE.
