PROPAGANDA WAR
MAORI AND PAKEHA IN THE EIGHTIES NEWSPAPER OFFICE RANSACKED Printed propaganda is no new weapon in waging wars. This statement was revealed by Mr Rudall Hayward at a recent address to the Napier Rotary Club. ' Mr Hayward stated that in the course of the Maori Wars in the Waikato, the natives published a newspaper called "The Soaring Bird," in which they stated their side of the case. The pakehas retaliated with a jpurnal called "The Lark on the Housetop," and a fierce propaganda war was waged. The Maoris eventually became angry and descended on "The Lark" which was published at Te Awamutu, and carried away the printing press and plant. It was sakl that they melted down the type and used it for bullets, but the speaker said he could not vouch for that portion of the story.
