THE MAORI HOUSE.
CRITICISED BY RATANA’S SECRETARY.
By Cable —Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, June 20. “Our party was disgusted with the Maori Hut at Wembley, because it is only half Maori workmanship. The carvings are a poor example of Maori art,” said Mr Moka, Katana’s secretary. “In comparison with the Burma exhibits, the Maori Hut suggests to the public that we are low down in the scale of natives, because we are treated so badly. Our party refused to enter the New Zealand pavilion.”
