THE DIFFERENCE.
The Right JT->-. . Russell, Vice-President of .Department of Agriculture in Great Britain, addressing a meeting in Ireland recently, said that tiie Irish system of small holdings was far preferable to that set up recently by the small holdings legislation for England. It was, he said, the sense of
ownership that made all ' the difference. "If a man owned his plot, he felt that he was cultivating it for himself -and his family, and that no man had the right to come in and filch what the owner had made." This is precisely the position as it appears to the freehold party in New Zealand. Neither the Government nor the individual has the right to filch what does not belong to them.
