LEAGUE IS UNIQUE ORGANISATION The League has no parallel in Pakeha society, rather is its place taken by many groups each covering specific aspects of League Constitution. There are many social workers outside the framework of Child Welfare Department, most schools have close liaison between parents and teachers and there are few mothers who do not avail them
selves of the services of the Plunket Society. A Pakeha Women's Welfare League would be redundant. Our League is rather like a Gilbert and Sullivan character, everything and everyone rolled into one. From the habits and the problems of the Maori people arose the need for their own organisation. The League belongs to Maori women and although it welcomes Pakeha members, it has essentially a Maori flavour. It has to do with Welfare—anything and everything that effects the well-being of the race. And so we come back to our Constitution—so broad in the conception of its aims, and so wide in their application and, it may be added, so difficult to apply.
