MAORI POVERTY
ASSOCIATION ASKED FOR RELIEF Over 20 applications for assistance have come from back-country native residents recently to Te Akarana Maori Association. Clothing has been requested by the applicants, and. although the association has issued all its stock, it has set up a sub-coinmittee to deal with the applications. At a meeting last evening the association members thought that the question of providing relief for Maoris should fall on the Government rather than on charitable and hospital boards. From native lands large sums went annually to charitable organisations. Satisfaction was expressed that hospital boards, in the Auckland Province at least, where three-fifths of the Maori population resided, had been filling a duty in providing relief for Maoris.
At present there is an abnormal amount of poverty among natives.
