PRODUCERS’ COMMITTEE

(To the Editor.) Sir, —Will you please publish the following to correct some statements made recently in tho Press by Mr. L. A. Rutherford regarding Mr. Polson’s appointment to the Producers’ and Wool Committees: — (1) Mr. Rutherford in his letter infers that Mr. Polson got on to the above committee by a side door, flue facts are that Mr.' Polson was nominated at the meeting of producers held in Wellington, but declined, to stand. He subsequently agreed at a later meeting to act on this committee. (2) When the Wool Committee first sat, Mr. Polson was a member of that committee. But, what has the date of an appointment on a committee to do with, the work carried on by that committee? _ r In his letter to your paper, Mr. Rutherford has not attempted to correct anv single statement made by Mr. Polson recently at Wanganui, but lias laid himself out to explain to tho public that Mr. Polson was not one of the first choices of the producers on this committee. . It will take many letters such as tliat written bv Mr. Rutherford to convince the producers of the Dominion that letters in a newspaper do not speak louder than actions. I am, etc., ]< Avici. Wellington, January 9, 1924.
