OUR MEMBERS

Voting day is drawing nigh and our candidates are sticking together. Three have visited Gisborne in a short time, Apirana Ngata, Mohi te Atahikoia and Tuhaka Kohere. Also here are the strong promoters of Wi Pere. Those candidates who have not visited us are Ihaia Hutana and Tiki Paaka, but Ihaia is coming here in Summer.

THE WAITANGI ASSOCIATION [KOTAHITANGA]

We publish an article by Te Rapihana about the Treaty of Waitangi Association which supports our contention that the Association should be revived as a strong and united voice of the Maori People. At the large hui held at Wai-o-Matatini it was thought that the Association should be wound up and that the general meeting of the Councils should be the unifying gathering. But this idea is very wrong because the Councils are Government bodies and a time may come when the Government is in conflict with the Maori People and the Councils will not be in a position to criticize the Government.

A CONCERN

We are experiencing fear and anxiety since we have seen the shadow of the knife piercing the throat of the Maori. Perhaps it was a dream. It is said that before death or disaster strike a man he is visited with apprehension – anxiety. Such was our vision. Was it a dream or was it real? People, we believe that the Pakeha and the Government have threaded on a hook to catch us Maori. A hook is deceptive, it is concealed by the bait.
