PROGRESS LEAGUE’S HELP SOUGHT
Fruitgrowers And Marketing MEETING WITH MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT PLANNED The Canterbury Progress League has been asked by a committee representing Canterbury fruitgrowers to support their petition for relief from the apple marketing scheme. The league’s agricultural committee will accordingly meet fruitgrowers’ representatives on Monday at a meeting to wl)ich the league has invited Canterbury Members of Parliament, Mr S. G. Holland (Leader of the Opposition), the Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes, the Mayor (Mr R. M. Macfarlane), and Messrs H. S. S. Kyle, T. H. McCombs, and C. Morgan Williams. In its present form the fruitgrowers petition asks, broadly, (1) for the abandonment of the marketing scheme, or (2) that Canterbury growers be given such relief as will protect them from “the injustices and absurdities of the present scheme.” Most of the points prefacing these alternative requests were published in “The Press” recently, when a draft of the petition, which fruitgrowers intend to present to Parliament, was being prepared.
