HAKA FOR PAKEHAS

SUGGESTION BY BISHOP

NAPIER, Friday.

"I see a member of Parliament protests that the lowering of the alcoholic content of beer will lower the morale of soldiers," said the Bishop of Aotearoa. the Rt. Rev F. A. Rennett. in Napier. "I have a sucerestion to make. "Before they go into action, the Maori boys always dance a haka. This stirs them up. and they are carried away by the words of the haka to bring back the honour of their people. I propose that if the pakeha did a haka before going into battle he would not need beer."
