The primary industries are back to pre-war level or world, parity, and the farmer contends that the secondary industries should not expect to stand in a different position. It will not help matters to point to the high standard of living, for that will not be affected if the proper adjustments are made This much is certain, that whether we face the position in a sane and orderly manner or not, an adjustment .must be made. It is imperative. It will be forced on us by economic laws, and the force of economics is apt to be violent. We depend upon our farmers for our prosperity, and our position to-day appears to be somewhat like that of a family where the breadwinner is working only part time. The slogan of the country to-day should be “Make Production Pay.”—“Wanganui Herald,*
