FUTURE OF RHODESIA. REPORT OF BUXTON COMMISSION. By Telegraph - Press Assn—CopyKgßt. Capetown, May 11. The report of the Buxton Committee, appointed by the Imperial Government to report on the future of Rhodesia, has been issued. It regards the principle of responsible government as settled by the last election, and recommends that a scheme be drafted and submitted to a referendum, and, if accepted, Southern Rhodesia should be formally annexed to the King’s Dominions. The form of constitution suggested is that granted to Natal in 1593, with reservations regarding the Natives and Crown lands. In view of the small white population the report proposes, in the first instance, only one Chamber of 26 to 30 members, and a Cabinet consisting of the Premier and five colleagues. As regards unalienated land, which by the recent decision of the Privy Council belongs to the Chartered Company, the committee recommends administration by a land board of three members.
