LAND SETTLEMENT
NATIONAL PARTY POLICY MR SUTHERLAND’S STATEMENT When the National Party assumed the Treasury benches it would have a complete survey of all land made with a view of ascertaining its economic value, said Mr A. S. Sutherland, M.P. for Hauraki, speaking in the -House of Representatives recently on the Finance Bill. The present Government had no land settlement' policy; indeed land settlement as far as the Government was concerned had always had to take a back seat. The Government was devoid of ideas as to land settlement; a Government which would leave the important office of Minister of Lands vacant for years certainly had no responsibility for this was a primary producing country. It had to be remembered that we got our sterling funds through our primary production. The office should be filled without delay. The land settlement question was one of the fifst things the National Party would tackle when it assumed the Treasury benches.
