The view which the Opposition takes of the proposed Native Land Commission was thus set out by Mr Tames Allen, M.H.lt' in an interview printed in the Christchurch Press: “This native land question has been forced on Ministers, partly owing xo Mr Massey and others in tlio House, aiid partly owing to the fact that Mr McNab went to Auckland and found that their one interest was not in his Land Bill, but in the settlement of a much wider and larger question—the native land question I think you- may say of the proposed Native Land Commission what Mr McNab himself has quite lately said of the late Land Commission, viz , that if he had known it was going to be such a terrible failure he would have had nothing to do with it. 1 question very much whether the Native Land Commission can dc much to solve the native land difficulty. There are members of Parliament who know as much about the question as any member of the Commission can know. I expect the result of a Native Land Commission will be very much the same as the result of the Land Commission its-ilf If the Ministry have any ideas on the native land question, why don’t they present them to the House and the country? They ought to have some ideas, and we ought to have had the benefit of them. It seems utter folly that the country should any longer allow millions of acres of valuable land to lie unsettled, when men are wanting to get on to that land to turn it to useful account.”
