PRODUCE CONTROL BOARDS
CONSTITUTION OF BODIES OBJECTION BY FARMERS Objection was expressed at a meeting to-day by the executive of the Dairy Farmers’ Union that the Government and merchants should have representatives on the produce control boards,, and it was considered that the representation on the Dairy Control Board was unfair. Messrs. Short and P. J. Small assured the meeting that one of the planks in the United Party’s platform was the abolition of Government representatives, and all that was necessary was to remind the Government of the fact. Mr. J. Boyce: We could do nicely without the Control Board at all. That is the opinion of quite a lot of factory directors. “Let’s keep it for a while yet, replied the chairman (Mr. N. Campbell). The meeting agreed to a remit suggestting the cutting out of ail representatives except bona-fide farmers from the control boards be sent to the Dominion conference of the Farmers’ Union.
