LOSS ON PRODUCTION.
INDEMNIFICATION NOT SUPPORTED. NATIONAL COUNCIL’S REPLY. (Special to the “ Guardian.”) TIMARU, October 1. Indemnification against losses caused through over-production ol' produce grown as a war effort is not favoured by the National Council of Primary Production, according to a letter received by the South Canterbury district council from the Director of Primary Production (Mr R. B. Tennent). The following remit was sent recently to the National Council from South Canterbury: “That this council desires information regarding the attitude of the Government to the growers of any line of primary produce in which there is an over-production and what steps are to be taken to avoid losses to these growers. •* The director replied that the council could not support such a remit because of the universal risks arising by the whole community, of which, farmers were only a part. It was felt that secondary industries, no less than farmers, were being asked to take steps which might possibly involve a considerable loss. It was being realised that such risks were incidental to patriotism, and it was regretted that the council was unable to support the remit.
