KING COUNTRY LANDS.
REPLY TO MR. HOGG'S CHARGES. By Telegraph.—Press Association. j Wellington, Saturday. Referring to the statement by Mr. Hogg that tho settlement of native land in the King Country had been retarded by speculators, Mr. Carrol said that immediately the lands were purchased by the Crown they came under the administration of the Crown Lands Board. A lot of development work then had to bo done. Every lease and sale had to be approved by "the Native Land Board, whoso duty it was to see that the terms; were fair and the area of limitation under the Land Act strictly adhered to. Speculation, might creep into every transaction, even in Crown lands. AH the Government could do was to see that the limitation was rigidly adhered to. Every applicant for alienation of Maori land had to make a stautory declaration as to the amount of his holding. The hoards satisfied themselves that the statement was correct, and if boards recommended the sale it had to be approved by the Governor-in-Council.
