Race Relationships

This is closely related to the first It is perhaps not such a problem in New Zealand, but we have only to cast our eyes on South Africa and America to see something of what we mean. Raven was amazed to hear Australians talking of "white Australia," a policy never moral, and now not even practical.

There are two aspects of this problem. As to the genetic aspect, it is high time the geneticists came out in the open and said, as Raven thinks they can, that there are no innate inferiorities in people due to their being members of mixed blood. The psychological aspect is more important. For instance, many of us feel some revulsion in regard to members of other races. We must learn how to overcome this, or at least to adjust to it. It is up to us to give all the effort we can to the problems of ways and means in improving race relationships. The N.Z. situation gives us a unique opportunity to give some lead here.
