DOMINION DOING.
[Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, April 17. The Hon A. P. Ngata, interviewed at Huntly, stated that the Tokaanu Land Conference Committee did not approve of the proposed abolition of the Native Appellate Court and the reversion to the old system of rehearing, which proved very costly to litigants and multiplied delayThe Committee suggested that the procedure of the Native Land Court should be amended to facilitate exchanges, and that the Government should appoint commissioners to carry on a wholesale scale of exchanges between the various sections of a tribe. The Committee insisted that the Government should perfect a system of settling the Maoris on their own lands, and expressed the opinion that the time had not arrived when restrictions against alienation should be altogether removed.
