TWO PETITIONS
Rarotongan Interests
Two petitions associated with Rarotongan interests were reported upon by the Native Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives yesterday. The committee recommended that the petition of Kainuku Vaikai and 16 others, of Rarotonga, asking that _ a judge of the New Zealand Native Land Court should be empowered to investigate in Rarotonga a number of titles to land under the native customary laws, should be referred to the Government for consideration. The second petition was that of Tuvaine I’okino, Rangatira, of Rarotonga, asking for a Royal Commission to determine the customary laws of Rarotonga. The committee had no recommendation to make.
