GOOD NEIGHBOURS This will put our much-vaunted and in the main justified claim to racial harmony to a much stiffer test than it has ever been subject to before. For as the Maori people move from their rural isolation to town and city, Maori and Pakeha will increasingly become neighbours. The Pakeha must be ready to accept the fact that his next-door neighbour is a Maori. So too, the Maori. Town life will certainly bring the two peoples closer, but on what terms? As Minister of Maori Affairs I must, on this our National Day, which symbolises our national unity, speak plainly on behalf of the Maori people. Here, where the die of racial harmony was cast, let us look honestly at the picture today. Though much has been achieved, I am sure you will all agree that the picture could be better. Much remains to be done.
