FREEZING WORKS CONTROL
COMMENT BY PRIME MINISTER “The Press” Special Service WELLINGTON, February 8. “I have never heard of any such proposal,” said the Prime Minister r (Mr Fraser), referring this evening to a report that the Government was considering the possibilities of nationalising the freezing industry. It was reported that at a meeting in Marton Mr F. C. Jurgens, president of the Wellington central provincial executive of Federated Farmers, said that, should the Government decide that the works should not be operated by private interests, the producers had the funds in the meat accounts to enable them to take the industry over on a co-operative basis. Before this could be done the farmers would have to be unanimous and he was confident that, if private enterprise was to relinquish its hold on the. industry, producers would welcome the opportunity of taking the works over rather than have them nationalised.
