CONTROL TROUBLES
A SUGGESTED SOLUTION
P.A. CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday.
. "During the war we know that it is necessary for industry to be controlled, but sometimes 'we feel "that this control is irksome .and . not always in the interests of the consumer or industry," said the Mayor, Mr. E. H. Andrews',' at the annual conference of the .National Beekeepers' Association. "I knbw that yoUrs, like other industries, has had its problems, and in Christchurch we have a special problem in the fish industry.
"For six weeks have been without fish, while the Price Tribunal considers the price cut, and. the people are getting restive. It'make's one wonder about the control: '''-- ■■■'
"The basis of the trouble seems to me that those appointed, .to. control are frequently, men who have ho practical knowledge of the industry which they are supposed'to control,", continued Mr. Andrews.' "Let industries be controlled and served by men who have a knowledge of them, and not by amateurs, and we would get more work done with much less trouble." ' '' : ... ..',.. "FLOUNDERS AND FJTJAPPEBS" P.A. CHRISTCHURCHi Wednesday. "Sometfanes - Ir-wonder' whether men dealing with bees know the ence between bees-and bluebottles, and those dealing with fish the- difference between flounders and flappers," said the Mayor, Mr. "E. H. Andrews, at the annual meeting of the Canterbury Progress League, in further comment on the qualifications of some members of tribunals and commissions set up to-deal with, various problems. . Mr. Andrews said he had been -impressed by ;the ability of the league'to tackle public'problems. He criticised the delay and apparent "indecision 'regarding fish; at present, emphasising that ' the" "people's problems should •be ■ controlled by men of influence and decision.
"Much of bur trouble," the Mayor added, "lies in the fact". I am afraid, that a lot of these tribunals which are set. up, have men appointed to them who haye.'no expert knowledge." , ' • ' : ■ ,
