Article 26.

It shall be one of the aims of this Party to encourage the use of the English language, and to avoid and discourage any other mode of speech, or the establishment of communities or settlements in New Zealand, calculated to perpetuate other tongues, and in speaking or writing of the mother country to recommend the term British, and to discountenance such sectional terms as English, Scotch, Irish, Welsh, &c., which terms should be merged in our nationality, and to apply the term Home to New Zealand—our home, instead of to Foreign Countries as at present. But this rule is not intended to apply to the Maori language or to Native communities.
