AN IMPORTANT REPORT.
THE FUTURE SETTLEMENT OF
SOUTH AFRICA.
(srm Association.—Copyright.)
LONDON, June 22
The South African Land Settlement Commission appointed during the last Parliament on 'the motion of H. 0. Arnold Foster has issued a report. It states that unless strenuous efforts, are made to establish a thoroughly British population in the conquered States, the sacrifice of the war will be absolutely
wasted, and advises a compulsory acquisition of private land for settlement on the lines adopted by New Zealand. Approved. Soldiers ought to be given farms of 1000 to 5000 acres, and be assisted to stock them, subject to the Home military obligations. Purely military settlements are undesirable, but the liberal employment of soldiers upon the railways is urged, and also the founding of military horse breeding establishments.
