NATIVE LANDS.
Speaking at the A. and P. ;(]oiiference in Auckland, on the native land question, Mr J. G. Rutherford said this was the most important subject at .present to the Auckland Province. United action should be taken in the i interest of the -whole North Island, ' and-also the whole of New Zealand. The native lands should be opened under the control of the Government, and then they would no longer have the spectacle of land worth thousands of pounds growing nothing but a few kumeras. Another speaker said they dad not want the land throw™ open indiscriminately, and they did not want the Maoris to. impoverish themselves. AT; present Maoris owned; hundreds of ' of valuable land • wortih oi pounds, and yet,-because they could not develop t the land, they had to grow a few kutmeras, sell mushrooms, and catch fish to make a living.
