LAND DEVELOPMENT
NEW SOUTH WALES POLICY A CONFERENCE WITH MINISTERS BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION. —COPYRIGHT. (Rec. June 28, 11.80 p.m.) Sydney, June 28. Tho Premier, the Minister of Lana®, and Sir Joseph Carruthers (Vice-Presi-dent of the Executive Council) conferred on the Government’s policy of land development, as it affects private estates, with representatives of the graziers, shires, and stock owners’ associations, the Million Farms Club, Primary Producers’ Union, Chamber of Commerce, and leading banks. Sir George Fuller, in opening the conference, said that they would not discuss whether private lands should be pIA to better use, or whether Crown lands or private lands should be dealt with first. The alternatives were voluntary subdivision and compulsory subdivision. The Government would prefer to help tho owners of land to subdivide, rather than resort to compulsion, but Cabinet would be as firm as a rock in doing something to get men settled on the land. It would not allow selfish private interests to stand in the way of the public good.. The conference proceeded to discuss proposals in an endeavour to present a satisfactory scheme to the Government.—Press Assn.
