CORRESPONDENCE.

(To the Editor). Sir,—lt was generally supposed that the Workers' Land for Settlement League was principally inaugurated for the purpose of the establishment of workers' homes, but that is not so. The meeting of the League that took place last night should at once dispel this. For the first and principal motion put to the meeting for consideration was the Flourmillers' Trust monopoly, which was fully and clearly discussed, and a deputation appointed to approach Mr A. W. Hogg, M.H.K., for the purpose of asking him to bring the matter before the House, and urge upon the Government the necessity of reducing the duty upon imported flour, for the purpose of preventing a recurrence of this monopoly. This is a matter of general interest to the people of the colony, and goes a long way to prove that the League means to handle matters other than closer settlement. From a* discussion which took place between a few of the more prominent numbers of tho League after the closejof the meeting, which was of a most interesting one, I, as a close and interested listener, could clearly see that the platform of the y League was far-reaching, and had been well and carefully thoughtout. If the League obtains oniy half the support it deserves, it will prove a flower of more than one year's blossom. * Although now only in its infancy, it should, in the near future, give birth to many of its kind right throughout the colony. It, therefore, behoves every resident in and out of Masterton to eive the League his most hearty support.—l am, etc., OBSERVER. Masterton, June 20th, 1907.
