, It has been several times asserted (says the Evening Post) that the Norwegians and Swedes who have recently been placed on the Manawatu land have not become purchasers o'n the deferred payment principle, but. are.simply squat Jew, possessing only the security of the right to have their improvements valued and paid tor in the event of the land being purchased. This may or may not be the case, but we are aware that the immigrants themselves told a very different story to some of their countrymen j}ere. They said in the plainest terms that their bargain with Dr. Featherston was that they were to purchase land on #ie deferred payment principle,, but possibly they misunderstood the matter.
