FRUIT INDUSTRY
GROWERS AND REFERENDUM
(By Telegraph-*Press Association.) HASTINGS, January 20,
"We know now less than ever we did," said Mr. J. H. Milne, president of the Hawke's Bay Fruit Growers' Association, when the proposed Government control of the fruit industry was discussed at a meeting of the association in Hastings today.
Dissatisfaction with the method by which the referendum of orchardists on the question was taken by the New Zealand Fruit Growers' Federation was expressed at the meeting and the following resolution passed: "We deplore the fact that the federation executive did not act in accordance with the resolution passed at' the annual conference asking the Government to take over the marketing of fruit." The opinion was expressed by many growers ,that there was more in the federation's action than was apparent, on the surface and that, as shareholders of the federation, they should demand that action be taken.
