A Vote by Maori Committees Another new step taken by the Council is something of an experiment. It is hoping to find the best way of getting the opinions of the people on important issues so that it may truly reflect the views of Maoris as a whole. The best way that this can be done is to go direct to the Maori Committees throughout the country. They have each been sent a paper on which they are to enter their vote either for or against two proposals that have recently been put to us by the Department of Maori Affairs. Their vote then goes to the Secretary of their Executive, and the Executive's majority decision goes to the District Council and so to the New Zealand Council.
