TO THB BDITOB OF THB PBEBB. Sir,—l listened last evening with amused astonishment to the broadcasl appeal to the farmers to produce bacon and still more bacon, even though a 1 a loss to themselves—amusement when I thought of the several different occasions on which the watersiders have refused to ship the fruits of the producers' labour until they received higher wages, and astonishment thai the Government could descend, aftei calling the farmers "Public Enemy No. 3," through its mouthpiece, Mr Scrimgeour, to appealing to them for anything at all, let alone on such terms as above. In any case what is the attitude oi the Government towards rent, etc Should the farmer produce at a loss?— YoUrs. etc.. CLOSELY INTERESTED. April 18. 1940.
