EQUAL STATUS OF MAORIS. Sir Apirana Ngata speaking at .Nelson, said that m going round the Dominion one .of the most pleasant things he found was the .spirit of good fellowship and comradeship that existed between the pakelia and the Maori, more especially among the young people. Time was when things were different. i He referred to the Wairau massacre, which unfortunately had. ceen brought about as a result of misunderstanding. The Taranaki war was the result of misunderstanding, and also the trouble in the Waikato. The latest instance of misunderstanding was the unfortunate death or Tamase.se. History had a way of covering up misunderstandings, and to-day, not quite a century after the Wairau massacre, we found the two races together, with the same prospects in .front of them a« were given only to the pakelia at one time.
