SERMON ON MOUNT
MR. SAVAGE AND FARMERS
"It appears that the science of production owes nothing at all to tho world," said the Leader of the Opposition (Mr. M. J. Savage) at the annual conference of the New Zealand Farmers rtTnion today. "It looks to mo that we have most of the things we need.and we don't seem to know how to make them available to each other. Wheii we understand the meaning of the simple word 'service' and are prepared to give effect to it in our daily lives, we shall be nearer the principles underlying the Sermon on the Mount than we are today. Another thing, we shall be nearer to the solution of our economic problems than we are today." Mr. Savage said he wanted to express his gratitude to the Farmers' Union for the privilege of being present and.also to the farmers for the service they had been able to give to New Zealand. He did not think the farmers owed-ahything to anyone. (Loud and prolonged laughter.)
Mr. Savago said he was going to stand by his statement —so far as the farmers' service to th© community was concerned. (Applause.) All they were ■risking for today was to be paid for .n'tat service. (Hear, hear, and applause.) "Now, then, ladies and gentlemen, I ■si la II leave it at that," Mr. Savage allded. ■■ ■. . -.:■:
