By Telegraph.-Press Association..— Copyright. (Received April 12, 11 n.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Mr. Beeby, Minister for Lands and Labour, speaking at Wagga Wagga. eaid the closer settlement question, whatever Government .was in office, would be bound to apply every pressure on large landholders occupying lands not in productive use in districts that will be served by the State railways. Opportunities for private subdivision of lands at good prices would not continue. Men not wise enough to see current public opinion would suffer, i The Government's purchases of blocks of land, had not touched the fringe of tho closer settlement problem; they wanted 200,000, not 20,000, new settlers.
