Maori Population
"The estimated Maori population as at March 31 last was; 101,538 ex--9 eluding members of the armed forces serving overseas," states the annual report of the under.secretary for the Native Department Mr G. P. Shepherd. "Including servicemen the figure wo.uld be approximately 103,000. This shows an increase of approximately 25 per cent since the last census in 1930 when the total •9 was 82 32(5, and' almost 100 per cent over the last 30 years. There i>; thus a very definite indication that the race has survived the danger of extinction which appeared certain less than 50 j'ears ago."
