WORLD MINIMUM
SUGGESTION BY FARMERS
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WAIROA, This" Day.
That the time has arrived when the wool growers of the world should get together and fix a minimum price for wool for themselves was an opinion expressed at the annual meeting of the Wairoa Farmers' Union and it was decided that a remit to that, effect be sent to the Dominion conference with a recommendation that, it be submitted to the Wool Board.
It was stated that wool growers were apprehensive of the Government's extending the guaranteed price system to wool; even though the Prime Minister had given an assurance that wool would not be commandeered. No wool grower wished prices to be fixed but it was time that the wool growers of the world combined and arranged a minimum price as it was generally recognised that selling wool at any price regardless of the cost of production was sheer stupidity.
