MAORIS AFTER THE WAR
Sir-Maha Winiata condemns the suggestion that Maori soldiers be used as a permanent Imperial force. Does his view coincide with Maori opinion generally? It must be admitted that an occupying force will be required to keep order in the Pacific. Is the British Empire to be represented by the English, the Irish, the Scots and the Welsh and all other Britons except the Maori? It would be particularly fitting that Maori troops should occupy Tokyo in those islands whence the Caucasian ancestors of the Maori were driven by the Mongol away back in ancient days. It seems common sense that our guardians should be chosen from those best able to act the part, and who can say that the Maori soldier is not fit to he cuardian of our richts and privileges?
