NATIVE LAND QUESTION
HON. J. CARROLL’S REPLY TO MR HOGG. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, June 26. Referring to a statement by Mr Hogg that the settlement of Native land in the King Country has been retarded by speculators, the Hon. J. Carroll, Act-ing-Premier, said that immediately lands were purchased by the Crown they came under the administration of the Crown Lands Board. A lot of development work then Juad to be done. Every lease and sale had to be. approved by the Native Land Board, whose duty was to see the terms -were lair and the area of limitation under the Land Act strictly adhered to. Speculation might creep into every transaction even in Crown lands. All the Government could do was to see that the limitation was rigidly adhered to. Every applicant for the alienation of Maori land has to make a statutory declaration as to the , amount of his holding. The Boards satisfy themselves that' the statement is correct. If a Board recommends a sale it must be approved by the Governor-in-Counci 1.
