LAND SETTLEMENT.

Sir, —1 read with pleasure your excellent article on "The Establishment of Credit Banks," and land settlement, and the power of capital: and I consider.your suggestions to inaren.se>- settlement. by the State paying the settlers for the work thgy do on their (arms as a loan to be paid back -when they " get going" as "just the thing," and quite in keeping with the spirit of credit hanks. But I would go further, and say that reasonably small areas, say, from 50 to 200 acres, according to quality, should be absolutely given to settlers. For it must 'bo observed that New Zealand needs settlers, nor. in the spirit of "take it or leave it, just as you like," but in a spirit of entire welcome encouragement. The settler cannot take the land away with him, and any work done will be so much to the good of the country. The amount of money necessary to start farming would he reduced, and perhaps prevent, a burden being imposed ,on settlers, j The State would benefit by fuller developj ment and results of increased trade more than it would by the purchase money. I Clevedon.. • Sam. A. Bkowxk.
