Th<? Hon. D. li. Guthrie., Minister in Charge of Soldiers' Land Bottkmtmtr-, rererring to an extract from a speech by Mr Hammond, president of the Hamilton farmers' Union, regarding the soldiers' settlement at Te Miro, says : "Mr Hammond does not suggest any means by which tho Government could improve the existing condition.''.. As at many other nc-,\- settlements, tho soldiers ■wore placed on the land before it was roaded because of the demand for land. He visited the

settlement, arid was convinced that in time it would prove successful. While it was true that tho soldiers on this ami, have many difficulties, those will very soon be overcome. Temporary reading was arranged to let. the settlers out in the direction they wished, because it was impossible to nave a main roadway constructed in time. When the- roadim; was completed lie was suro tho settlers would be quite satisfied with their conditions. He understood tlwt the settlers had bad some trouble in getting the necessary implements, but that matter was being attended to, and this trouble 'would soon disappear. With areas of this kind, settled as quickly as that at Te. Miro, there were bound to bo troubles in the oariv days of settlement.
