SETTLING THE LAND.
(To the Editor Gisborne Times. Sin, —I am euro that your loading article on nativo land matters will be perused with interest and entire approval by the thoughtful among your readers. It is devoutly to be hoped that either the existing machinery will bo made to work, and that with reasonable celerity, or replaced by other and moro satisfactory methods. The Farmers’ Union apparently intends to uphold freehold in preference to leasehold tenure. If so, it is a sagacious stop, for fow Europeans would olect to travel all tho way to our shores to obtain leasehold property whon thoy can get freehold nearer homo. Would it not also bo worth considering whether a return should not lio made to assisted immigration ? It would teud to relieve tho congestion of European cities, and give us new colonists, tho majority of whom would doubtless provo useful in tho settlement and building up of New Zealand. —I am, etc., Advance.
