STIRRING CALL
SPIRIT OF ARAWA TRIBE GO WHERE DANGER THREATENS OTORUA, Thursday Members of the Arawa Tribe, at a meeting in Rotorua, deprecated the attitude of the North Auckland Maoris tbat the Maori battalion should be reserved for home defence, and carried a resolution that so far as the Arawas were concerned they made an unconditional offer of man and woman power for service .wherever the greatest danger threatened. The resolution concluded: “ Let others hesitate in this, our extreme hour of peril and need, but the spirit of the Arawa and associale tribes throughout Aotearoa flames at the deeds of wanton aggression, and demands that they again be allowed to cross the seas to stand shoulder to shoulder with their white brothers, sharing with them equality of saerifice in defending the same ideals they fought for 25 years ago.” The text of the resolution has been sent to the acting-prime Minister, the Hon. I*. Fraser.
