TRACTORS FROM U.S. -POLICY JUSTIFIED
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, July 22 A reply to the statement o n the availability of tractors in New Zealand made by the vice-president of the New Zealand Farm Implement Manufacturers’ Federation, Mr.. T. H. Lawn, was issued by the Dominion action committee of the Federated Farmers.
The committee’s str'.ement said it seemed impossible that Mr, Lawn did not know that the farmers were in urgent need of a wide variety ol' equipment. Mr. Lawn questions the wisdom of importing tractors from a dollar source but, being an implement man, he must know that we are not. importing any tractors from America that could be supplied from England. “He must also know that England is importing from America for her farmers the same type of equipment as we are desirous of importing from America for our farmers.
“There is, therefore, nothing strange or unusual in the Federated Farmers’ applying pressure towards securing this much needed equipment. which we know will materially assist to increase primary production, most of which will eventually be shipped to Britain.”
