THE LAND CONFISCATION ACT

‘On Tuesday, 8th May, in the Lower House of the English Parliament, Mr Ashley (a nephew of Lord Shaftesbury) asked the Prime Minister if he knew the Native Land Settlement Act passed by the Government of New Zealand in 1905, and if he had spoken to the King asking him to nullify that law because it contravenes the Treaty of Waitangi which was made between the Crown and the Maori chiefs of New Zealand.

ONLY TWO YEARS!

In two years time the sale of Maori lands on the East Coast will be liable to compulsion [confiscation bites]. Section 58 if the Constitution Act 1852 says that the Queen may withdraw her consent to an Act of Parliament within two years. If the Maori People wish to take a petition to the King to overthrow the Land Confiscation Act of 1905 [Maori Land Settlement Act 1905] which contravenes the second provision of the Treaty of Waitangi, there are two years to arrange who is to go, to set up the petition, and to collect money to support those who go.

KINDERGARTEN SCHOOLS – SCHOOLS FOR INFANTS.

(By Rev F W Chatterton, Delivered at the Te Aute Hui at Rotorua.)

We all agree, Pakeha and Maori, that it is a good thing to educate our children. We know that if children are not educated they will experience great difficulties throughout their lives. We cannot remedy in adulthood the failures of childhood. If the tree is not shaped when it is small it will be very difficult to shape it when it is large.

BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER AS ONE.

People, chiefs, what are you doing in response to our appeal to revive the Waitangi Association? If you agree, why delay setting the date and the place for holding the hui, and choosing the members of that hui? The Land Confiscation Act has been passed and, before a single acre is confiscated, a hui should be quickly summoned so that the Government hears and the Pakeha become afraid and wary of taking land, and before it is opened up to be alienated by sale. The Government is not afraid of our members who are all slaves of Mr Seddon. Only Kaihau has stood out.
