“Maori grievances”
Sir,—As the speaker referred to by Mr Beauchamp, I shall put him right on all he says with more thrown in. The reporter did not quite quote me correctly in this part. But I am glad Mr Beauchamp mentions King Alfred’s ninth-century England and warring DanishSaxon tribes. Churchill said: “This strong strain of individualism, based upon land ownership, afterwards to play a persistent part, not only in the blood, but in the politics of England.” I made this point to Rotarians on historic Maori land attitudes. To describe .my speech as “emotional oratory” is laughable. Rotarians speaking to me afterwards did not think so. As for homework, 1 will back my knowledge of Maori. his r tory as is and of oratory without emotion against Mr Beauchamp’s any time in public.—Yours, etc., W. J. KARETAI. March 23, 1971. a
