LAND QUESTION.
Mr D, McLaren, M.P., referring in a speech delivered on Sunday night in the Wellington Opera House to the Government’s proposals regarding land legislation, said he was prepared to go out of public life for ever, but not at any time was he prepared to give the slightest support to or entertain any feeling but one of hatred for, the principles contained in the Budget affecting v the lands of the Dominion. Was it not a message to New Zealand that Mr Crooks was bringing to them from those thirty - eight million landless people ? They would be a race of cowards if they hesitated to denounce what was now threatened. He said this so that they would understand his position. He would have to use strong and .bitter terms to denounce what he honestly believed was a crime against the people.
