MORE SETTLEMENT.
PROBLEM IN AUSTRALIA I By Telegraph.—Frees Assn.—Copyright. Received June 28, 11.30 p.m. Sydney, June 28. The Premier, the Minister for Lands and Sir John Carruthers conferred on the Government’s policy of land development as it affects private estates with representatives of the graziers, shires and stock-owners’ associations, the Million Farms Club, the Primary Producers’ Union, the Chamber of Commerce, and leading banks. Sir George Fuller, opening the conferference, said he would not discuss whether private land should be put to better use, or whether Crown lands or private lands should be dealt with first. The alternatives were voluntary subdiviaon and compulsory subdivision. The Government would prefer to help the owners of land to subdivide rather than resort to comptdrion, but Cabinet would be firm as a rock in doing something to get men settled on the land. It would not allow selfish private interests to stand in the way of the pubbc good. The conference proceeded to discuss proposals in an endeavor to present a satisfactory scheme to the Government.
