Stale aid to farming
Sir, — I am surprised that the 10 economists who urge subsidisation of the farming industry by the amount of $l5O million do not mention the need for a - :-e rational farm marketing system. There are now definite plans for the wool industry, but farmers have refused to join in the needed reorganisation. Now they complain. Similarly, the meat industry. The New Zealand Meat Workers Union has published a plan for the establishment of a New Zealand Meat Corporation. (“The Freezing Workers’ Case” by F. McNulty with a foreword by T. E. Skinner, and an epilogue by the present writer, published by the New Zealand Monthly Review Society.) Without such reorganisation of the meat and wool industries there will be neither economic stability
for farmers nor industrial progress in the meat industry. — Yours, etc., W. ROSENBERG. January 10, 1975.
