Clergyman's Allegations Against the Maoris Not Yet Verified
AUCKLAND, June 1. Commenting on the attitude of the Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. P. Fraser, to his recent sermon concerning alleged moral decline of Maori people, Rev E. Blackwood Moore said: ‘I could give the Prime Minister specific instances, but I am more inclined to ask him to publish the statistics regarding crime and the Maori race before and after the introduction of Social Security. I could give Mr Fraser the name of my informant regarding in-breed-ing He is an estimable man, and i do not wish to see him victimised. Since my sermon I have had communications from all over the North Island assuring me that what I stated is true. One man told me lie had been teaching Maoris for 25 years, and had been sacked for saying the same thing”.
