VIRILE PEOPLE
INCREASE IN THE MAORI POPULATION NEW PROBLEMS CREATED (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. “The increasing Maori population, though a hopeful and encouraging indication of the regeneration of the Maori people, creates problems which throw added responsibilities on the Native Department in its guardianship of the race,” states the annual report of the Native Department which was presented in the House of Represenetatives yesterday by the Acting Native Minister, the Hon F. Langstone. “The problem facing statesmen today is to provide not for a declining race, but for a virile people whose numbers are rapidly growing,” the report continues. “The economic and living conditions of the Maori people have received careful consideration and have been materially improved by the Native land development and the housing schemes. With the continued benefits provided by these amenities it may reasonably be expected that the Maori will ultimately emerge ’with a greater degree of attainment and a willingess to undertake his share in State and civic responsibilities.”
