Selective aid
The chairman of the Wool Board, Mr J. Clarke, is not a supporter of across-the-board assistance for farmers. He told the electoral committee of the board last week that he personally favoured selective measures for fanners in those districts where the difficulties were greatest. “Assistance to those who do not need it tends to raise the costs of those who do,” he added.
And in elaboration of his views, he said that there had to be recognition of the fact that within the industry there was a wide variation in economic positions. There were people under no particular pressure and others equally efficient but under a great deal of pressure, and for the good of the industry they . should be maintained until times were better.
But he was not saying that the inefficient should be maintained, he said.
