ATTITUDE OF FARMERS
NATIONAL REGISTER URGED
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
ASHBURTON, October 27,
The Mid-Canterbury executive of the New Zealand Farmers' Union adopted resolutions today urging that no local body be permitted to make a donation in excess of the amount permitted as unauthorised expenditure and that employees of local bodies enlisting ac granted leave without pay while on service. The need was stressed for a national register so that the full manpower of the country could be utilised to the -best advantage, and a motion to this effect was carried.
A protest was made against the evasion by the Government of the question of how long control of the pastoral industry would last.
It was stated that the first resolution was aimed at forestalling local bodies from being used by the. Government as collecting agencies while the resolution on a national register amounted to a call for compulsory service in New Zealand and overseas.
