RESIGNATION URGED.
FARMERS AND MR BARCLAY. (P.A.) DUNEDIN, May. 1. “Whenever he addresses meetings of farmers he stirs up strife and ill-feel-ing, said Mr J. S. Elliot at a meeting of the Otago Provincial Council of the New Zealand Fanners’ Union, when he submitted a remit* from the Middlemarch branch expressing complete lack of confidence in the Hon. J. G. Barclay, as Minister of Agriculture. The remit added that, the branch considered Mr Barclay’s attitude throughout his term of office not only unsympathetic but antagonistic toward Ilie •interests of farmers and in the interests of national unity it asked for his resignation. A resolution was finally carried in the following terms: “In the interests of national unity and in view of the widespread unrest among the farming community the minister be urged to adopt a more sympathetic attitude to farmers' problems.”
