OUR MAORI BROTHERS

Sir -I think it is a pity that on two occasions recently you have published short stories calculated to annoy, if not offend, certain portions of the come munity. This week’s "Picture in the Paper" i8 neither clever nor entertaining, nor is it good taste to choose a half wit Maori as the butt of an obscure joke. Our Maori brothers deserve better than this poltroonery. But I send you a bouquet as well as a brick. Another recent story "Bomber Command" (Eileen Rhodes) is as choice a gem as I have read anywhere,

DECENCY

(Waipukurau).

{For the bouquet we offer our thanks. For the brick we can find no excuse. So far as a short story has a purposeother than an artistic one-‘‘Picture in the Paper’ was a plea for a better understanding of the Maori mind by those responsible for Pakeha law.-Ed].
