A Moral Obligation The strong have a moral obligation to help those who are weaker; and so, if the members of a dominant group have discovered shortcomings in the ways in which they are influencing the members of a minority group, or if they see ways in which they could help to overcome weaknesses in the position of such a minority—then the members of that dominant group have a moral obligation to try to help, sincerely and to the limits of their resources. Because of this, the Foundation must be viewed as an absolute necessity. It recognises the urgent need to improve the Maori's lot, representing as it does the desire of the majority to do something concrete to assist a minority who are, in many ways, unfortunate; and at the same time it is a movement which, if it is reasonably successful, should vastly improve relations in this bi-racial society.
