He proposes to establish five colonies including m all eight thousand souls m different parts of the Cook country on the east coast of the North Island. The requisite capital is estimated at half a million, of which the public will be asked to subscribe :£i 50,000 and the Maoris ,£50,000. Government will be asked to find the balance, or it will be raised by means of debentures.
