PaESa ASSOCIATIOIT.) | '.. _ : • - ■ . i , Auckland,. April. 14. The Armed Constabulary working on the Alexandra-Kawhia road are to ha;ve | a canteen at Hikurangi. Wahanui and other leading chiefs are anxious to preserve their people from the debasing influerices which ahe sale of liquor m their midst is certain to cause, and have protested to the GrOvennent' against .such an evil being placed m their midst, and telegrams have been and are now passing- between -Wahanui and the Him. Mr Bryce upon the matter. Mr Bryce has icplied toWahanui's protest that liquor would only be sold to members of the' -Armed Constabulary,' -and. that/ if through any Pakeha it found its way to* any native, tlie" keeper of the cateen would lose his license.. This explanation has not satisfied ' Wahanui ' and otliers, as they well know from experis ence elsewhere that liquor is sure' to find its .way thrpngh Maori women and Pakeha-Maoris to the natives generally, ' and ■correspondence, by telegraph is still going on upon the matter.
