FUTURE OF RHODESIA
REPORT OF BUXTON COMMITTEE.
(Rec. May 12, 1.30 a.m.)
Cape Town, May 11. The rejwrt of the Buxton Committee appointed by the Imperial Government to report on the future of Rhodesia has been issued.
It regards the principle of responsible government as settled by tho last election, and recommends that a scheme be drafted and submitted to a referendum. If the scheme is accepted, Southern Rhodesia should be formally annexed to the King’s Dominions. The form of constitution suggested is that granted to Natal in 1893, with reservations regarding the natives and Crown lands. In view of the small white population, the report proposes in the first instance only one Chamber, consisting of from .26 to 30 members, and a Cabinet, consisting of a Premier and five colleagues. As regards unalienated land, which by a recent decision of the Privy Council belongs to tho Chartered Company, the committee recommends administration by a. land board of three members.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assu.
