“LAND OF SUNSHINE.”
A VISIT TO RHODESIA. An interesting address on Rhodesia, “the Land of Sunshine,” was given yesterday at the Masterton Rotary Club luncheon by Rotarian H. E. Harrt. Rhodesia, said the speaker, w'as the most interesting of all African countries, and the most British. In the Union of South Africa there was a very mixed population and a tendency tn hostility between the different races. Rhodesia—? land of romance —was five times the size of the North and South Island of New r ealand. Southern Rhodesia, with a white population of 30,000, was more advanced than the north which had only 6000 white settlers, and was practically in its virgin state. The people of Southern Rhodesia w r ere very British, and very hospitable. Farming there was, generally speaking, tw'cntyfive years behind the times, probably due to native labour. White men there did not work, but walked around directing the labour. There wefe a million natives all told in Northern and Southern Rhodesia.
