The King Country.
.» Thekb appears to have been some misapprehension of the tenor of Mr Beycb's speech at New Plymouth, which he is desirous should be set right. A word or two omitted by the Press Association has led to a misapprehension as to the meaning of what he said as regards the opening of the King country. What he really desired to convey was that there would be no further serious obstruction to explorations or surveys for roads or railways, but he particularly pointed out that he did not refer to the ascertainment of the title to the land, which he believed would be delayed for reasons he plainly stated. It is important that this correction should be made, for if the Maoris thought Mr Bbtce had staled that the objection to general surveys had been removed, considerable harm might be the result. The opening up of the lands will follow in due course, but before this is effected, the grievances of which" the Natives complain will have to be fully considered, and proper precautions taken to keep the land out of the clutches of
j land sharks anJ specula! ors who are i j ca^er to invest in the lands as soon as I they are in the market.
