GUARANTEED MINIMUM PRICE
Sir, —Your correspondent, Mr H. E. Hill, complains that the National Party’s leader, Mr Holland, is going to out-socialise the Socialists by giving the farmers a guaranteed minimum price, with ceiling prices determined by the farmers themselves. Mr Hill has not taken into account that a reserve pool will be built up by the farmers, who will pay into it any surplus over the maximum price fixed by them, so that the deficiency may be made up if the price should drop below the guaranteed minimum. I do not see how this can be described as an “open slather?’—l am, etc., C.W.B. Hamilton, September 8, 1943.
