CONFERENCE DISCUSSIONS
MAORI FARMER'S COMMENT Shrewd comment on the loquacity and diversity of the general discussions was. made at the 45th annual conference of the N.Z. Farmers' Union (Auckland Province) by a Maori delegate Mr A. Te Whetu of Ruatoki North (Bay of Plenty) when invited by the president to address the conference. "I came here ? " said Mr Te Whetu, "with the object of learning things to take home to my people. Until L came, here 1 did not know that there were so .many differences among you pakeha people. All I can say is you should show us Maoris a better example. You could take a lesson from the Bay of Plenty people..." Mr Te Whetu's remarks were warmly applauded.
