ADMIRER OF MAORIS

RESEARCH STUDENT’S REPORT FIJIAN NATIVE PROBLEM (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Wednesday At present in Wellington is Dr. S. M. Lambert, for the past 27 years sole representative of the Rockefeller Foundation in the tropic islands of the Pacific. His studies of native races include the Maoris and recently he completed a close study of these people extending over a year and it is the subject of a confidential report to the Government. He has the greatest admiration for them and believes that, like other native races he has come in contact with in the islands, they are willing and anxious to learn how to help themselves.

He said the East Indians were now increasing more rapidly than the Fijian natives and he holds the view that in order to preserve the Fijians from degeneration steps should be taken to postpone the East Indians’ predominance.
