In an interesting interview with the editor of the Toronto Globe, the Hon. Dr, Finiay, Minister of Justice of the Government of New Zealand, who with the Primc Minister, Sir Jos. Ward, was then on his way to the Conference of the Colonial Premiers in London, gave some interesting information regarding the solving of the vexed land question in New Zealand, With only a limited area, and with private estates of 200,000 acres devoted to sheep raising and supporting only a few shepherds, the situation grew up akin to that in Britain. The Government “‘reclaimed’’ much of the land, leased it to small farmers, loaned capital upon it, provided needed facilities, and conveniences, and in the end disproved every argument of the obstruc- tionist by showing wide spread prosperity and trebled land values. One-sixth of all New Zealand is now held by the Crown and will not be sold, but only leased in small holdings at reasonable rentals and revalued after sixty-six years. Absolutely and in every particular our land policy has been jus- tified, said Dr. Finlay, and he did not refuse the refrain of the campaign song of the British radicals, “‘God made the land for the people.” The policy of the Government of New Zealand, as Dr. Finlay describes it, is very different from that of British Columbia. ‘‘The policy of our Government,’’ says Dr. Finlay, ‘is not to delay Legis- lation until unrest here, or clamor there, or the pressure of half in- structed public opinion yonder, crowds us into action. Our plan is to lead. There came a time when it was plain that New Zealand was face to face with a crisis. Things could not go on as they had been going, without revolt and re-action. The ideal was received of what kind of place New Zealand ought to be and it has been the aim of our policy to work steadily and determinedly towards that ideal. We have sixty million acres and one million people, and our purpose is to make each of those acres yield the utmost good for’ the people, and to secure to each of those people access to all the opportunities which life in New Zealand affords." Access to opportunity, as Dr. Finlay understood it, meant access to the land as source of wealth, access to education free and efficient as essential to the right use of opportunity; access to wholesome conditions of labor and just reward; access to justice, such as gives the poorest seamstress as fair a chance before the court as the wealthiest corporation; access to capital at moderate rates of interest and easy terms of payment; access to all the conveniences provided by rail- ways, telegraphs, telephones, and other public services at the minimum cost to the state, and access to insurance against accidents and a pension for old age.
