NATIVE INQUIRY
COMPLAINT AGAINST MINISTER. Public proceedings' in the Native Affairs inquiry recommenced in Wellington yesterday when counsel’s addresses were opened by Mr R. H. Quilliam, whoMjras appointed by the Government to the commission, in a broad survey of the evidence. He laid . a complaint against the Native. Minister, Sir Apirana Ngata, of having carried on with land development work for the Maoris without adequate plan ning and stocktaking. For this, as in certain other aspects of the department’s administration, counsel submitted that the wide personal control which the Minister exercised left him with full responsibility. It was further suggested that he had rushed through with the development schemes with the object of committing the country to as much expenditure as possible so that they would have to be continued.
