NEW NATIVE POLICY.
SIR J. G. FINDLAY AND THE GOVERNMENT. CFbom Otra Ows Cobbkspohdent.) WELLINGTON, October 18. During his speech at Parnell on October 9 Sir John Findlay declared that he believed the day was not far distant when, with the heightened standard of education among the race, special representation of the Maoris in Parliament would be unnecessary. As that day neared the Maori must be placed in the same position as the European in regard to the duties of citizenship and the use of the
land. The member for Tauranga asked the Prime Minister in the House of Representatives whether this statement was an exposition of the new Native policy of the Government, and if this policy, which had been always advocated by the Opposition, was to be adopted by the Government, and whether legislation would be brought down to give effect to it. " Sir John Findlay was addressing the people in his capacity as a candidate," said Sir Joseph Ward in his printed reply this afternoon, " and was expressing nis own personal opinions."
