A PLEA FOR THE MAORIS.
A commission has recently been investigating the matter of the employment of Maori girls and women by Asiatics for market garden work. As toiling'on the land is the natural role for all Maoris, and as we must have market gardens, it is suggested that a few leading Maoris and pakehas get together and establish market gardens for Maori girls and women on a co-operative basis. This would have the following effect—sufficient market gardens for all our needs, the displacement and ultimate removal of Asiatics from our midst, the finding of suitable employment for those who have a free-born right to earn their living in the country of their origin, and lastly, the preservation of*the pure-blooded Maoris..! trust you will be able to support this suggestion through your columns as much as possible. ■ C. MACKLEY.
