FARMERS AND POLITICS
MR MULHOLLAND EXPLAINS.
[PER press association.]
CHRISTCHURCH, July 17.
“It should’ be understood that the resolution adopted at the annual conference, and reported to-day, does not commit the Farmers’ Union to the formation of a political party,” said Mr AV. W. Mulholland, the Dominion President of the Union, when he was asked further to explain the report from Wellington.
“It must not be taken that the Union has decided to form a political party. There is nothing definite yet, and there will not be until the Dominion Executive, at its next meeting, considers the resolution passed at the conference. The resolution was not operative, but one creating proposals for investigation and decision. All aspects of the question involved must be gone into. This may be done whenthe Executive meets in the third week of August.” Explaining the reference made to the Sheepfarming Commission, Mr Mulholland said that the conference expected the Government to take some action. If it failed to do so, the sheepfarmers would regard it as a serious situation, and one which might require their immediate action.
