NATIVE LAND POLICY.
The time has coma for the Prime Minister to grapple with this serious and important problem, upon the speedy solution of which the progress of settlement in the North Island so largely depends. What the people want to know is when these huge blocks of-native land now lying unproductive will be available for European occupation, and under what form of tenure they will be offer ed. No fair-minded man in the whole of the Dominion desires to treat the native owners in any other than a just and equitable spirit, says the "Auckland Herald," but it is imperative that the enormous areas of surplus land which the natives themselves do not and probably never have used shouli no longsr be permitted to stand in the way of the development and prosperity of the country.
