The “Auckland Star’’ opens an article on the land as follows: —‘TV© can fully sympathise with the feelings with which ‘the Minister for Lands accepted office. He tells us that he did so .‘with a good deal of temerity, as he realised that, with the termination of the wap, the position would be one of enormous reiponsibiUty-’ It is. The responsibility is so great that one wishes another John McKenzie would arise to bring to bear on the problem the weight of a vigorous mind and character and an intense- radicalism.

The late Mr McNab was. perhaps, nearest to Sir John McKenzie in ideals, but circumstances were too powerful for him.’’
