STATE’S POWER TO END LEASEHOLDS
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, Sept. 30. Under an amendment to the Land Sales Act the Government by being able to terminate leaseholds was taking power for the first time in the history of any Government in New Zealand to break its own contracts said Mr. P. A. O’Shea, general secretary of the Federated Farmers, addressing the Hutt Valley branch of the federation. Mr. O’Shea said it should be realised that a very small amendment could make this "provision apply to all property so far as the State was concerned, and it could easih- be made to apply to the leases of State houses or, in fact, to the lease of anv property by an individual from the State. The farmer, he said, was asking for no better and no worse conditions than aoplied to anyone else in the country. Tie did not want any favours, but he did want a fair deal which at present he had not got.
