MAORI WAR EFFORT
STRONG IN EVERY WAY
' (By Telegraph—Press Association.) i AUCKLAND, This Day. i "Recruiting figures among the Maoris have been excellent and there should be no difficulty in keeping the battalion going with reinforcements from volunteers until well into next year," said Sir Apirana Ngata, when interviewed today. Sir Apirana added that the Maoris | were unitedly assisting the war and patriotic funds, and were increasing production. It was estimated that about 4000 additional acres of maize would be planted as foodstuffs for pig raising in the Bay of Plenty and East Coast districts. The Maoris were assured of a fixed minimum price, but would welcome an announcement that there would be a guaranteed market for all they produce.
