Agricultural Reform Gain Spurs Public Interest
The essay notes a surge in attention to land reform across major journals and newspapers. It discusses proposals by J. Boyd Kinnear to abolish mortgaging land and argues this would hinder peasant ownership, while favoring broader access to land and reduced encumbrances to boost farming and tenure reform. Lord Hartington’s remarks align with removing hindrances to small ownership without forcing peasant proprietary.
