MR C. C BOWEN ON THE NATIVE QUESTION.
es (Per United Press Association.) n- At a dinner given to Mr C. C. Bowen, tho jn late member for Kaiapoi, at Hangiora on Frijj day night, Mr Bowen, in replying to the toast of his health, took occasion to say that lie deprecated making Native matters a party question. Tho Government, lie thought, had Dy shown the utmost patience in endeavouring to in avert war, and had devolving upon them er serious responsibility of securing tho safety of ,r those who had settled on lands on tho faith of J action taken by the previous Government. *■ He felt certain that colonists would not brook is interference in carrying out the Native policy from anyone, no matter how high his official position. He advocated electing a Parliamentary committee and financial committees in the House. This would be a saving to.the m country, and much time would also be spared. t- Business and privato affairs compelled him to re decline re-election.
