shall approve’ to create this fund, and it may be supplemented each year with ‘any balance of the net income of the principal fund received during and remaining unexpended at the end of the previous year. None of these decisions prejudice the rights of the veterans themselves. The grants of up to £50 for relief assistance and support of veterans, and the grants of £50 on the death of any Maori soldier of the First World War retain first priority. With the present high annual profits made by the fund, it is very likely, however, that a considerable sum will remain each year for the scholarships. In October of last year, Mr Rangi Royal, Controller for Maori Social and Economic Advancement, addressed nineteen meetings at which these proposals were discussed and approved. At the same time the veterans attending the meetings agreed to a generous but just gesture to the owners of Te Hoia blocks near Tikitiki, who took over their property after the expiry of the lease to the Maori Trustee as administrator of the Maori Soldiers' Fund. The compensation payable by these owners was assessed at £16,000 by arbitration, but for many reasons it seemed equitable to ask much less. All veterans consulted at the meetings agreed to a reduction to £8,000. The Maori Soldiers' Fund will do a great service in the future, both through its relief work and by encouraging talented and promising young Maoris to take up further studies. In this way the dream of Sir Apirana Ngata in starting the Fund has been fulfilled. * * * The Maori Women's Welfare League nominated Miss Mira Petricevich, Dominion Secretary of the League, as a delegate to the Pan Pacific Women's Association conference to be held in Manila next year. * * * These were the questions set in a school examination in the Cook Islands (part of Polynesia): “What do you mean by pollination? What is self-pollination? What is cross-pollination? This was one answer received by the teacher: “Pollinations are all the Maori people with brown skins. Most of them lived in warm countries. The Maoris here in the Cook Islands are pollinations, too. The cross-pollinations are the people of Spain. The self pollination is the Maoris of the Cook Islands.” —Pacific Monthly.
