PRODUCERS' CHANCE.

DISCUSSION OF REPORT. STATEMENT BY MR. FULTON. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) HAMILTON, this day. "As the whole of the Dairy Board conferences will be held within the next three weeks, I am hoping that the producers will give serious consideration' to the commission's report and will be prepared to make such recommendations as they consider would be for the betterment of the industry," said Mr. Dynes Fulton, chairman of directors of the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company, and deputy chairman of the Dairy Produce Board, in an interview. Mr. Fulton said that he would be leaving for Dunedin to-morrow evening, and the first conference would be held there on Wednesday morning. It was expected that the Dairy Board ward conferences would be very well attended by directors and dairy producers in the "respective districts, when they would have an excellent opportunity of discussing the recommendations submitted by the Dairy Commission.

"I would like to clear up a misunderstanding that has got abroad from a remark made by me when speaking at the official opening of the Pukekawa Hall," said Mr. Fulton. "The whole of ray remarks were not published, but they were applied entirely to my belief that the Government would give the producers a fair deal as regards giving the dairy industry an opportunity of reviewing the commission's report prior to any legislation being placed on the Statute B.ook.

"I want to make it quite clear that I have from the time the report first appeared opposed the setting up of a supreme council to control pastoral export products and the altered proposal is in my opinion no improvement on the first suggestion of three members, as there will still be a Government-con-troll.ed council. However, the dairy industry has now a good opportunity to give full consideration to s what is _of i vital importance to those engaged in it." J
