However, the argument for localism is perhaps taken far by Olssen's citation of study showing that ‘between 1875 and 1914, men in Oamaru rarely took as wives any women living more than sixteen miles away’ (ibid. p. 275). Oamaru is hemmed in by the Waitiki River and the Kakanui Range, and most of its hinterland is within a sixteen-mile radius.

²³ According to Sinclair, Social Credit ‘has been the country's Aladdin's Lamp, golden-egged goose, state lottery, and “cargo cult”.’ But Lee regarded the theories of Major Douglas as ‘the corridor’ by which middle class voters shifted to Labour in the 1930s, and when Nash became finance minister, Lee indicated that his own monetary theories were not dissimilar: ‘we shall make Walter print and print and print to the limit of commonsense.’ (Sinclair, , Walter Nash, pp. 106, 116, 123Google Scholar.) Richardson regards Labour's monetary policies in the 1930s as ‘scarcely distinguishable from Douglas Credit’ (OHNZ, P. 222).

Belich makes a convincing case that the ‘modern pa’ could withstand both bullets and shells, but presumably – to extend the analogy with the Western Front – the huddled defenders should have been vulnerable to hand grenade attack. The British apparendy used hand grenades in the Waikato campaign (ibid. p. 146). During the earlier Northern War, artillerymen had experimented, unsuccessfully, with the manufacture of ‘stench balls’ from empty shell cases as a primitive form of gas attack, ‘the effect of which was expected to deprive the rebels of all animation’. (Quoted in Barthrop, Michael, To face the daring Maoris: soldiers' impressions of the First Maori War 1845–47 (London, 1979), p. 95Google Scholar.

Rejecting British claims for Maori losses in one engagement, Belich states: ‘Five Maori sources confirm that only fourteen or fifteen warriors were killed’ (ibid. p. 134). In cultures dominated by oral tradition, repetition is not necessarily confirmation.
