"GONE DOWN WELL"

NEW LEGISLATION. VISITOR FROM LONDON. AGRICULTURAL EXPERT. To discuss with the Government the problems of the British markets, Mr. J. Morgan, agricultural editor of the London "Daily Herald" for the past seven years, arrived by the Niagara this morning. His paper is the leading Labour organ in Great Britain, and Mr. Morgan is a member of the advisory committee of the Labour party.

There were greater difficulties now than ill the past in the marketing of Dominion produce, said Mr. "Morgan, because of the organisation of producers in Great Britain, but if New Zealand played her part well there should be 110 difficulties that could not be overcome. The legislation passed the present Government in New Zealand had, on the whole, "gone down well," lie said. The Government had made few mistakes and had implemented most of its undertakings.

Discussing the guaranteed price Mr. Morgan said New Zealand would have to accept the fact that at the moment there was 110 complementary machinery in Great Britain. New Zealand should not be too optimistic about future prospects because of the enormous expansion during the last tnree years of dairy production in England. To illustrate this 400,000,000,000 gallons of milk were now being used fov manufacture into butter and cheese. Mr. Morgan gained practical experience of New Zealand farming conditions in 1920 when he was farming at Waikanae, near Wellington, and it was because of this knowledge that he has been sent out to New Zealand. He gives radio talks to British farmers over the air, and will broadcast during his stay in New Zealand.
