148 CONCLUSION 



£4,000,000 or £5,000,000 every year. The 

 National Debt Commissioners and the Pubhc 

 Works Commissioners are constantly lending 

 and recovering moneys. The somewhat 

 unfortunate experience in Ireland has given 

 rise to the quite erroneous impression that the 

 State cannot find money for investment in 

 land without a huge and critical issue of land 

 bonds. Such is very far from the real state 

 of affairs, and the small amount required to 

 satisfy the urgent needs of this country in 

 regard to agriculture at the present time can 

 without difficulty be found to the credit of 

 " current account."
