DISTURBING SIGNS Today, there are disturbing signs and trends which, if not checked, could easily lead to a racial problem. 1. Maori Health and span of life are still too far below the European standard. 2. Nearly a third of the Maori people live in grossly overcrowded conditions. 3. One in every seven Maori houses is substandard. 4. Half a million acres of good Maori land lie idle and neglected. 5. 120,000 Maoris live in the country whereas employment is to be found mainly in the towns. 6. The Maori people should have three times as many apprentices and eight times as many University students. 7. The Maori crime rate is 3 ½ times the European. These problems are urgent. They are the problems of all New Zealanders. We must find and apply the remedies now. (Continued on page 34)
