IMMIGRANTS ON THE LAND.
I do not wish to be misunderstood, nor to infer that a "spoonfed" type of immigrant > s desirable ill Xew Zealand. But T do claim that, the immigrant pioneers who settled on tin; Great Barrier sixty odd years ago deserved something better thaii that' their sons, after a life of- hardship and industry, should be compelled to build wharf at' their own expense in order to niarket their produce. All praise to Wairarapa's pioneer road makers. But had.money been available and the Public Works Department in operation then, would they have had to do it themselves? Further, had there been such a miscarriage of justice. that money voted for their job luul been spent elsewhere. I think T>. King would also he vexed. We need not fear to right the wronis of our settlers: they will always have sufficient difficulties left to affm;d scope for industry and independence of character. IMMIGRAXT'S DAUGHTER.
