MAORI WELFARE
GREAT MEETING OF TRIBES
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day.
One of the most important gatherings of the Maori race in the history of New Zealand is to take place at Parihaka Pa, near New Plymouth, on June 19 and 20. Representatives are to be present from every tribe in the Dominion. , The Natives will seek ways of dealing with three great problems confronting the race at present—health and housing, drink and gambling, and the drift from religion. Leading Maoris in Taranaki state that the whole future of the Maori race hinges on overcoming these problems and that this is a chance for the Natives to help themselves and maintain their standing in the advancing world.
