BELGIAN TRADE TREATY.
FARMERS’ UNION INDIGNANT. (By Telegraph —Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Thursday. The Government’s action in entering into a trade treaty with Belgium without consulting the Farmers’ Union was criticised by the Dominion Executive of that organisation to-day. Concern was expressed in a letter from the Auckland branch of the Union tha u the recent treaty was sprung so suddenly on the public. The branch suggested that proprietary interest handling farm produce which were not usually exported by farmers themselves had received first-class treatment and that practically no consideration had boen given to farm products in which any real proportion of the value went to the Farmers. Mr Fiesst (Waikato) said it was • another instance where the Government ignored the Farmers’ Union and associated itself with the Manufacturers and Importers Associations. He moved . that a protest be made to the Government. This was seconded by Mr Mellsop, but the motion was lost.
