General Election
Sir, —The new Government must urgently investigate the dumping of good apples. For too long the Apple and Pear Board has held the local consumers of apples, etc., to ransom. All speculation, profiteering, and dumping of the people’s food and farm produce should be punishable by heavy imposts and imprisonment. All consumers should have apples as of right at a price they can afford to pay, not have to resort to stealing. If it is wrong for people to steal, how much more wrong is it to dump edible produce? The exploiters and profiteers have
never had it so good.— Yours, etc., FLEMING ROSS MILLER. December 6, 1972.
