RELIEF FOR FARMERS
The Government’s Efforts Dominion Special Service. New Plymouth, June 25. A defence of the Government’s efforts to help the primary producers was voiced by the Minister of Education, Hon. S. G. Smith, this afternoon when opening the South Taranaki AVintcr Show. “I know how the Government is being assailed to-day in the cities because of the strenuous efforts to Help the primary producers, but the Government realised that if it could not keep them on tlie land the cities and towns would suffer also,” he said. He had heard even a farmer wailing that he had not received the relief he should have. Efforts were made for the primary industries, not for individuals, said Air. Smith. Country mortgages totalled about £135 millions. Tlie'interest reduction legislation had given relief to tlie extent of about £1,500,000. The farmers had received, too, about a million in relief work in font years.
