CONSOLIDATION Sir, I for one (and I believe I speak for many) am not prepared to accept the opinion of Kore Whenua, expressed in his article “The Improvement of Maori Land Titles”, that consolidation of fragmented titles is impracticable. That is to say, I would submit that it is not impracticable in essence, however futile it may have proved to be under the handling of our circumlocution office. Read A New Earth, by Elspeth Huxley, a study of land reform in Kenya, where native custom led to fragmentation very similar to that at present afflicting our Maoris, and see how 200,000 consolidations have been carried through in a very few years in the Kikuyu district. Yours faithfully, A. D. Mead, Auckland.
