Maoris Put Up BraUe
Battle for Country

( The history Of the Maoris Of New
Zealand Is a most remarkable one.
Primitive and even cannibalistic up to
sixty years ago, they have In brief
space of years achieved equality with
the white man.
It Is hundreds Of years since six
large canoes, each holding about 200
persons, arrived there from the Tahiti
archipelago. Maori tradition has pre-
served the names Of these boats, and
the New Zealand feet now employs
them. BY the time Of the British
conquest the 1000 people who had
landed, utterly exhausted by their ire
mendous journey, had become 100000
"a small population for such. a large
territory.
No tribe ever exhibited such hero
ism in the face Of European conquest
as did the Maoris. In Selling New
Zealand, Great Britain lost $1,000 SOL
diers, though the forces of the Maoris,
armed only with old-fashioned wooden
weapons, did not exceed 1000. When
peace finally came, the conquerors
found they had deep respect for the
conquered. -Arnaldo Cipolla in La
