Maori Land For Ex-servicemen
During his recent visit to Te Kuiti, the Director of Rehabilitation, Colonel F. Baker, pointed out that if the Maori land available throughout New Zealand was insufficient for the needs of the Maori ex-servicemen they would have to compete for Crown and pakeha lands with the many present pakeha servicemen at present waiting for settlement. It was also strongly emphasised that the only form of settlement the Rehabilitation Board would consider was one where the exserviceman would have security of tenure, and the Maori people in making land available for soldier settlement must be prepared to transfer their interests ini that land by way of sale or otherwise. He explained that the board was prepared to consider the purchase of suitable Maori land either developed or undeveloped at present leased to Europeans, provided an agreement was reached between both the owners and the lessees.
