MARKETING CONTROL
ADVICE TO INDUSTRY
Would a Government be prepared to finance the primary industry by guaranteeing prices without some market control or supervision? asked the Hon. W. Grounds (North Auckland) in the Legislative Council yesterday afternoon during the debate on the Finance Bill. It would seem to be an ordinary, business-like precaution, he said, for anyone who advanced large sums in such a way to endeavour to safeguard his funds by ensuring that ihe best possible course should be taken in regard to marketing. He had noticed from different sections of the community a revival of the view that the industry should control its own marketing, continued Mr. Grounds. As an ideal, that was what should be, but in the light of pastexperience the industry should reflect deeply on whether it was wise to go back to the course that was followed years ago. He would strongly urge the industry to be very careful about what steps were taken in that direction—there was much wisdom in the fable of the dog who showed readiness to drop his bone to grab at the illusory shadow he saw in the water.
