Ideas

1. Immigration must be carefully planned
2. The immigrants must sit up small farms like those in England. This will make it easy to provide each farming village with things like schools and churches.
3. Land must be bought from the Maoris and then sold at a higher price to wealthy English people.
4.  The profits from the sale of loud will pay for the fares of carefully chosen labourers.
5. The price of land must be high enough so that the labourers will not be able to afford to buy it for some years. They will have to work to save money. This will mean plenty of labour for the farmers.
