CO-OPERATION OFFERED
"The suggestion that Mr. Mulholland is trying to sabotage attempts at helping returned servicemen is not only unfair, but is as completely without foundation as *is the suggestion that the Farmers' Union alternatives were put forward without conviction," said Mr. J. R. Lloyd Hammond, a member of the executive of the New Zealand Farmers' Union, when referring today to Mr. Fraser's statement.
He had been a member of the deputation to the Prime Minister in August, when the Farmers' Union submitted alternative proposals. Mr. Fraser then said the executiye was "reasonable and not attempting to be dogmatic."
"Evidently Mr. Fraser considers alternatives to be put forward with conviction only" when they are put forward as the miners put them to him," he said. "Mr. Mulholland simply suggests that members of the union should not subscribe to an Act which is foreign to principles of British law, There is nothing in the Act to settle one ex-serviceman, so there can be no question of sabotage. If Mr. Fraser really desires co-operation from the farming community he will get it, but his present attitude seems to indicate that he does not want it."
