Ruka, and Ngaika should also receive £20 a year, to retain their influence and services. The natives of Wairarapa feel that in surrendering a large tract of country to the Government, they have gained fewer advantages; when they hear that other tribes in the country who have sold no land, are now receiving aid in the shape of annuities, notwithstanding their steadfast opposition to English settlement. I submit that some early action should be taken to remove this feeling; as the friendly tribes are likely to become more dangerous opponents, from being mixed up with English settlers, than those who openly avow their opposition to the Government; especially if the impression that they are neglected continues to gain ground among them.
