THE YOUNG MAORI PARTY [TE ROPU TAITAMARIKI]

At the Hui of the Te Aute Association held in Rotorua on 13th April past the constitution and the name of the association were broadened to enable everyone to join – men, women, young people and elders. Its name in English is ‘The Young Maori Party.’ The newspaper gave this name to the Te Aute Association. It is a very good name though and a name that is easy in the English language; it is difficult if one turns to the Maori version.

TE PIPIWHARAUROA

[In English. We would advise all our distributors and agents not to give away copies of Te Pipiwharauroa broadcast, like tracts, but to endeavour to gain regular subscribers among the natives in their districts. Maoris, like any other people, will appreciate more what costs them something. We are confident the paper can make its own way among the Maoris, and can pay for itself. Te Pipiwharauroa is gaining very strongly both in financial support and in popularity.]
