NATIONAL PARKS
MOVEMENT IN BRITAIN. LORD BLEDISLOE’S ADVOCACY. The active interest, in the national parks movement in Britain which has been displayed by Lord Bledisloe, the present Governor-General of New Zealand, is mentioned by the Manchester Guardian in connection with the report of the committee appointed by the British Prime Minister, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, to investigate the subject. The committee suggests the constitution of two “national authorities” —one for England and Wales and one for Scotland — to choose suitable areas for parks as opportunity or necessity occurs. The Guardian urges that effect, be given to the committee's report by legislation. In the. course of its remarks it says that it was Lord Bledisloc, formerly a member of the Conservative Government, and a past president of the Central Landowners’ Association, who began the national park movement, and who persuaded the Prime Minister to appoint the committee which has just reported- Lord Bledisloe, alas, is now in New Zealand; Jiik tact- and enthusiasm will be missed, but the weight of his opinion will remain.
