CHBISTCHURCH, lGth February,
A reply, to the statement of Mr. H. P. Burton, president 'of tile : Master Bakers and Pastrycooks' Association, that 'the,: protection . given the wheatgrowers was disproportionate was made by the manager of a leading milling company at Christchurch, to-day.
He said, that Mr. Burton came from .Auckland,. and was merely repeating the Auckland agitation and propaganda against the wheat duties. At present, he said, it "was. not certain that there would be a shortage of wheat. There might still be sufficient for New Zealand requirements), allowing" for - tho decrease already .apparent in the, consumption of flour. any case the suggestion made by Sfe Burton that the expected deficiency should be estimated and that the wheat necessary to make tip the shortage should be imported free of duty was impracticable. It would ■upset the market for "both wheat and flour to the disadvantage of the Vheat"Wo cannot afford to let the growers! go oiif of ...existence,", be concluded.. :'. ' .*■ - •"-'■'- -" ' ;":
