THE NATIVE COMMISSION.
The Native Lands Commission sits for the first time in Gisborne this morning. The choice of Gisborne as the first place for the Commission to begin its work, shows an appreciation of the important bearing the question of native land titles has upon this district. Now it behoves the local bodies, and individuals interested, to take action while they have the opportunity. We are informed that the Commissioners will be pleased to hear the views of all persons who have suggestions to make in regard to the vexed question upon which the Commission has to report to Parliament. As the matter is of such great importance, the local bodies should at once appoint delegates, or probaby it would be satisfactory if the Mayor and the Chairman of each body considered it their duty to wait upon the Commission. There are many phases of the question, and there are sure to be differences of opinion, but upon one point all can agree, that something requires to be done to facilitate the settlement of the country, and now all concerned have an opportunity of suggesting what each one believes to be the proper course to take.
