MEETING OF LEASEHOLDERS.
(Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, March 10. According to the official report of the conference of leasehold members of Parliament, a resolution was carried declaring that the land question should be dealt with in accordance with the principles that have inspired the Liberal Party for the last twenty years, protesting against the further sale of Crown lands or granting the fee-simple of ordinary Crown lands purchased by the Government for settlement, affirming the desirableness of extending the endowment principle to remaining Crown lands, and that there be no interference with existing leasehold or freehold titles except when the land is required for settlement or other public purposes. A committee consisting of Meeers Arnold, Hogan, Laurenson, Paul, Russell, and Witty was set up to interview the Prime Minister and place before him the wishes of the conference.
