MAORI ASSOCIATION
gj r i believe the formation of the Maori Association to be a step in the right direction. However, not one pakeha name did I find in the list of the executive. Surely this is a potential source of weakness. It is right that there should be a Maori president and a preponderance of Maori strength on the committee. Have the Maori people forgotten the work of Paikea (Dr. i. L. G. Sutherland), one of the most able propagandists the Maori people have had for many years? Have the Maori people forgotten his “The Maori Situation”? The mere association of Paikea’s name would have given additional mana to this new-born child. Do not the people realise that he has prestige among the learned men of both races? And then there was Mr Roger Duff, the ethnologist, a specialist in his own field, not to mention Mr John Stewart, who has done so much for Maori movements in this city. These men would have been an enormous help, strands that would strengthen the net. —Yours, etc., lnen TE PIHOIHOI MOMEMOKE. December 10. 1942.
