MOKAU LANDS.
VINDICATION OF THE GOVERNMENT'S ACTION. The Auckland Star, in the course of a lengthy article on the Mokau lands, says:—"Tho elaborate statement which Sir James Carroll laid before Parliament regarding the sale of the Mokau block should have the effect of convincing every impartial person in tke country that, so far as this transaction is concerned, the Government has nothing to regret and nothing to conceal. The acting-Premier's version of the story is in every particular a clear and convincing disproof of the damaging insinuations and vague but injurious charges which Mr. Massey has" characteristically managed to weave into his recent remarks on the Mokau lands. We beljcve that the country's verdict on the Mokau case will coincide entirely with our own conviction that never, in the course of his long political career, has Mr. Massey been guilty of so many and such flagrant misrepresentations and errors of judgment as in his attempts to work up a scandal over the Mokau lands."
