FARMERS AND LABOUR
HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON M.P.’S SUGGESTION REFUTED Hawera, Aug. 31. A suggestion recently made at Auckland by Mr W. J. Jordan, M.P. (Mana, kau) that the Labour Party was tha natural ally of the farmer was ridiculed by Mr W. J. Polson, Dominion president of the Farmers’ Union, during an address at Hawera last evening. Mr Polson declared that farmers had nothing in common with Labour and that there was a wide divergence between nationalisation on the one hand and individualism on the other. Mr Jordan had made a suggestion that the small farmer had nothing to expect from the larger fanner, added Mr Polson. That was an adroit attempt to drive a wedge between the farming community. Whether a farmer was in a small or a large way his problems, aims and ideals were the same. Mr Jordan’s suggestion was both ridiculous and unfair.
