Haka or Beer.
d “I see a member of Parliament pro-' a tests that the lowering of the alcoholic content of beer will lower the morale .1 of soldiers." said the Bishop of A.otea- 1 e roa. the Rt. Rev. F. A. Bennett, in L. Napier. “1 have a suggestion to make, e Before they go into action, the Maori X boys always dance a haka. This stirs ii them up, and they are carried away d by the words of the haka to bring I back the honour of their people. 1 e propose that if the pakeha did a haka before going into battle he would not need beer.”
