PLEASANT DEPORTATION
USES OF ROYAL COMMISSION
[From Our Parliamentart Reporter.]
WELLINGTON, October 27,
To emphasise his argument that the farmers never asked for tho Rural Intermediate Credits Bill, but had always demanded agricultural banks, Mr A. L. Martin (Raglan) declared that the Rural Credits Commission was sent out of New Zealand to collect information already filed in tho parliamentary library, simply for the purpose of getting Mr Poison (tho Farmers’ Union chairman) out of Now Zealand during the 1925 election.
Mr Samuel (Ohinomuri): He was a willing deportee. (Laughter.) Mr Martin repeated that there was no question about tho Commission’s purpose, and the Prime Minister had been told so time after time. The farmers wanted an agricultural bank, and the present legislation was for tho specific purpose of blocking it.
