FARMERS AND LABOUR.
"NOTHING IN COMMON," SAYS MR. POLSON. REPLY TO MR. JORDAN'S COMMENT. (By Telegraph.—-Press Association.) HAWERA, this day. . The suggestion recently made in Auckland by Mr. W. J. Jordan, M.P., that the Labour party was the natural ally of the farmer was ridiculed by Mr. W. J. Poison, t M.P., Dominion president of the Farmers' Union, during an address in Hawera. » Mr. Poison declared that the farmers had nothing in common with Labour, and that there was a wide divergence between nationalisation, on the one hand, and individualism on the other. Mr. Jordan had made the suggestion that the small farmer had nothing to expect from the larger farmer, added Mr. Poison. That was an adroit attempt to drive a wedge between the farming community. Whether the farmer was in a small way or a large way his problems, aims and ideals were the same. Mr. Jordan's suggestion was both ridiculous and unfair.
