THE MAORI RACE
INCREASING POPULATION 1)E PARTMENT' S PROBE EAL "The increasing Maori population, although a hopeful and encouraging indication of the regeneration of the Maori people, creates problems which throw added responsibilities on the Native Department in its guardianship of the race," states the annual report of the Native Department, which was presented in the House of Representatives by the act-ing-Minister of Native Affairs, the Hon. F. Langstone. "The problem facing statesmen today is to provide not for a declining race, but for a virile people, whose numbers are rapidly growing," the report continues. . "The economic and living conditions of the Maori people have received careful consideration and have been materially improved by the native land development and housing schemes. With the continued benefits provided by these amenities it may reasonably be expected that the Maori will ultimately emerge with a greater degree of attainment and a willingness to undertake his share in Stale and civic responsibilities."
