Message to Maoris

WITH this issue, CUE piesents an appreciation of the Maori from the viewpoint of the Pakeha. So general is the white 'man’s admiration for his native brother’s achievements that it was deemed a fitting topic on which to base future articles. The. ball having been set rolling, it remains to the Maori members of 2 NZEF to further the active interest which it is hoped will be aroused. Opinions or criticisms from both races would be welcomed. A translation in the Maori language of the'precedingmessage is now given: — C "x - ■ ,< \ } , /ROTO i tenet pukapuka matauranga kua oti i nga kaihanga te wehe he wahi hei whakatu mat kite ao ite miliaro ote iwi Pakeha kite Maori.
