BLOCKING SETTLEMENT.
The strong light which is gradually being thrown upon the administration of Crown and Native Lands is exposing to public criticism a policy so utterly indef3r;sib!e that Ministers are reduced to the most obvious misrepresentations in the effort to excuse it. Wherever there are Native Lands the progress and development of the Dominion is checked and blocked as though these fertile areas were waterless and barren wastes, says the "New Zealand Herald," and even when aceess is secured it is ! under conditions so onerous and inequitable that only the most superficial use is possible. Mr James Carroll, who, as native interpreter, native representative in Pasliament, and Native Minister, has had opportunity to 3tudy the situation which should have made him an expert, apparently knows no more of the Native Land problem than if he were a recent immigrant, and can only otter the public vague statements supplied to him by his subordinates.
