SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT.
NO DEFINITE SCHEME YET. THE GOVERNMENT'S ATTITUDE. ! The need for adequate action in regard to immigration and land settlement, to take full advantage of the concessions offered by' Great Britain, was recently urged upon the Government by the New Zealand Farmers' Union. The Auckland Provincial Union, which sent to the annual conference a remit dealing with the matter, has received a copy of tho following reply from the Minister-in-charge of Immigration, the Hon. W. Nosworthy :-"- "I have to advise a very satisfactory agreement in the matter of assistance toward passages, and the scheme is in full working order. It remains for the residents of the Dominion to take advantage of the nomination system to obtain the desired additional 'population. In this connection might I suggest, that your union consider the advisability of utilising the system of nomination to satisfy the farmers' demands for rural workers. The question of a land settlement ' agreement has not been overlooked, and as, soon as tho time is deemed opportune the necessary steps will be, taken to obtain such an agreement. 'It is, however, -held that the Dominion is yet far from being in a position financially to "adopt any definite schema herein." ■'■—
