THE AFTER DIFFICULTIES.
PROBLEM OF SETTLEMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright London, June 23. Tho South African Land Settlement Commission, appointed by tho last Parliament on the motion of Mr Arnold Foster, has issued its report. It states that unless strenuous efforts are made to establish a thoroughly British population in tho conquered States, tho sacrifices of the war will be absolutely wasted. It advises tho compulsory acquisition of private land for settlement upon tho lines adopted by New Zealand. It approves of the idea that soldiers ought to be given farms of 1000 to 5000 acres, and assisted to stock them, subject to Home military obligations. Purely military settlements are considered undesirable, but liberal employment of soldiers upon railways is urged, also the founding of military horse-breeding establishments.
