Mil. W. GROUNDS,
(Per Press ; Association, Copyright). AUCKLAND, Jan. 16. W. Grounds, a member of the Dairy Board, lajst evening * »t a meeting which demanded the repeal of the Agricultural Emergency Powers Act, said that in the eulogies of the late W. Dynes Fulton, it had been said he would undoubtedly have occupied a greater position. “1 believe that is quite true,” said Air Grounds, “but I no not believe he would have allowed himself to be used to the detriment of the industry. As a result of my very intimate contact with him 1 say definitely 1 do not believe Mr Fulton would have allowed himself Lo be used *to hamstring the dairy industry on to the end of the right of self-determination in our political interests, and in our dairy industry.” Mr Fulton being a man of the highest integrity would never have stood for interference with that heritage of freedom of political action which our forefathers fought for and prized.
