FARMERS AND POLITICS
AUCKLAND DECISION. [per press association.] AUCKLAND, May 23. Adopting unanimously a report by a special committee, the Auckland Council of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union decided upon a definite course of political action after the war. The report expressed belief that participation was necessary and inevitable in the post-war period of reconstruction, and recommended an intensification of the present endeavours to consolidate under one central body all farmers’ organisations concerned with the processing and marketing of primary produce, and immediate action to organise farmers’ opinions, in readiness for direct political action in the post-war period. The president (Captain Rushworth) thought it would be worse than useless to attempt anything in the Auckland province, unless a Dominion front were organised. No action would be taken in Auckland unless the proposals were approved by the. Dominion conference.
