Ka noho a Tapihana Paraire Paikea hei kanohi mō te rohe pōti o te nōta.

I te matenga iho o tana pāpā i te marama o Āperira 1943, i pōtingia a Tapihana hei mema mō te nōta. Ko te tino arotahinga mōna, he whakatika i te tūāpapa ohaoha mō te iwi. Waihoki te mana taurite ki waenga i te iwi Pākehā me te iwi Māori. Ka kaha ia ki te whakawaha i ngā take ohaoha Māori.
