HUTT DEBATING SOCIETY
Guaranteed prices were discussed by the Hutt Debating Society at its last meeting, the mqtion considered being, "That the Labour Party's Policy of Guaranteed Prices Would Not be to New Zealand's Advantage." The movers were Messrs. Gamble, Scott, and D. Benton, > and the , opposers Messrs. Collins, Hepplestone, and Phillips. The , movers... contended that although the farmer was entitled to a fair price return for his labours, guaranteed prices would /not help him eventually, particularly because of the reaction when the market price exceeded the guaranteed price. The opposers maintained that.it .was essential that the farmer should' be able to earn at least working expenses. Any beneht he might get would be passed on in increased purchasing power.
