IN NEW ZEALAND HISTORY?

INTRODUCTION

Colin Graham Scrimgeour was born at Wairoa on 30 January 1903. …

TE KŌRERO WHAKATAKI e rere tonu ana

I mate a Scrimgeour i te 16 o Kohitātea, i te tau 1987.

TE MĀTĀPUNA A

He minita [a Scrimgeour] nō te hāhi Wēteriana, i tū ai hei tangata tino rongonui i te motu nā ana wāhanga Friendly Road i pāhotia ai mā te reo irirangi motuhake o 1ZR i ngā tau tekau 1930.

…

Kāore taku pāpā, tētahi kaipāmu nō te Piako ki Waitoa e whai ana i ngā tikanga o mua, … i paku pai ki a ia, inā rā, ka whakaparahako ia i ana mātāpono manawa hapori, ka mutu, tino kore rawa atu nei ia e whakarongo ki tana hōtaka.

SOURCE A

[Scrimgeour was] a Methodist minister, whose Friendly Road sessions on private radio 1ZR in the 1930s made him one of the most popular men in the country.

…

My father, a conservative farmer from Waitoa in the Piako, … had no truck with him, scorning his socialist principles, and wouldn’t have been caught dead listening to his programme.

Nā, i te Rātapu, te 24 o Whiringa-ā-rangi, i te tau 1935, nā ngā taputapu āta haukoti aratuku-teitei i kore ai e rangona te reo o ‘Uncle Scrim’,

…

kua oti kē te whakatau a te nuinga.

TE MĀTĀPUNA C

Nō te whakatatanga atu ki te pōtitanga o te tau 1935, i māharahara te Kāwanatanga tērā pea ka riro mā aua teihana te iwi e tohutohu me pēhea te pōti. …

i tukuna ki a Mr Scrimgeour tonu te tūranga whakahaere o ngā teihana arumoni, me tōna mana Minita anō.George Fraser, Ungrateful People (Tāmakimakaurau: The Pelorus Press, 1952), wh. 23.

TE MĀTĀPUNA D

I te wā o te whai pōti, nā Michael Savage, nā te Pirīmia hou, i oati ka ‘mau tonu ngā teihana B’. …

I panonitia e ia te whānuitanga me te tangi o te pāhotanga mā te whenumitanga o ngā whakaaro i ahu mai i Amerika me Ahitereiria, mā tōna ake auahatanga atamai hoki.

Then, on Sunday 24 November 1935, ‘Uncle Scrim’, who broadcast a programme called the ‘Friendly Road’, was drowned out by high-frequency jamming equipment

…

In the superheated last days of the campaign the issue whirled about but influenced few voters, most of whose minds were already made up.

Michael Bassett and Michael King, Tomorrow Comes the Song: A Life of Peter Fraser (Auckland: Penguin Books, 2000), p. 136.

SOURCE C

As the 1935 election drew near, the Government feared that people might be told how to vote from those stations.

…

It paved the way for the complete Government control of broadcasting, with full Ministerial responsibility, Mr Scrimgeour himself taking over the directorship of the commercial stations.

George Fraser, Ungrateful People (Auckland: The Pelorus Press, 1952), p. 23.

SOURCE D

During the campaign Michael Savage, the new Prime Minister, had promised that the ‘B stations will live’.

…

He transformed the range and sound of broadcasting with a lively mixture of American and Australian ideas and his own rich innovation.

TE MĀTĀPUNA F

I ētahi wā, he rite ngā kōrero o mua ki tētahi whenua tauhou, ki tētahi ao tukupū taurite rānei, ahakoa nō nā noa nei, pēnei i te Paheketanga Ohaoha.

…

He tangata tāpua mārika a Scrim i roto i ngā kōrero o mua mō ngā take tōrangapū o te rautau 20 ki Aotearoa.

SOURCE F

Sometimes history, even the relatively recent such as the Great Depression, reads like a foreign country or some kind of parallel universe.

…

One of the problems with political high-fliers is that they exist and are noted in a very narrow time-frame, unless they do something exceptional. Scrim was an undoubtedly significant figure in New Zealand’s 20th century political history.

He pānui whakamārama nā ngā hoariri ā-tōrangapū o Scrimgeour i tuhi, i tohatoha i te pōtihanga o te tau 1943 i te wā i whakataetae ia ki te Pirīmia, ki a Peter Fraser.

TE MĀTĀPUNA H

I te tau 1944 i whai tētahi pirīmia kia patua taku pāpā nā te mea ko ia te tangata e aroha nuitia ana i Aotearoa.

…

He hua tō te whakarongo ki te reo e tino whāia ana e ngā kāwanatanga o ngā rōpū tōrangapū e rua kia wahangū, otirā, ki te reo e kīia nei koia tonu te reo o te hapori o Aotearoa.

SOURCE H

In 1944 a prime minister sought to have my father killed because he was the most loved man in New Zealand.

…

A voice so ardently silenced by governments of both parties is worth listening to, especially when the voice was said to speak for the ordinary people of New Zealand.

Lee: Engari i te matenga o Savage, ā, i tōku wehenga kāore he whakaporeporenga mai i te Rōpū Reipa, ā, kāore he whakaporeporenga atu ki a rātou. I mōhio tonu a Faser rāua ko Nash me tatari noa iho rāua kia whati te tai.

…

i ia wā ka tae atu ngā mahi whakarite taumata ki te Tari Tauārangi ka whakahaungia au kia tirohia motuhaketia ahau e tētahi o ngā hoa o Fraser i te nuinga o te wā, ā, ka meatia au ki te Taumata 1.

Lee: But with Savage dead and me gone there weren’t any more favours from or for the Labour Party. Fraser and Nash knew that they only had to wait for their chance.

every time that grading got to Air Department I was ordered for a specialist examination, usually with one of Fraser’s friends, and I got Grade 1. So, I’m all right.
