“DRONES IN INDUSTRY”
MEMBERS OF DAIRY BOARD OPINION OF MR J. W. NEATE “ The greatest mistake that the Labour Government had ever made was that it had not dumped the Dairy Board,” stated Mr J. W. Neate* the Labour candidate for the Hauraki electorate, at a public meeting in Paeroa on Monday night. Emphatically he accused them of being nothing but drones. “There is nothing that they do that could not be done efficiently by the Department of Agriculture.”
It cost £38,719 to send the four members of the board around the country, they had £60,000 lying idle in deposits and £26,000 invested 'in war loans standing to their credit and all the time they were doing nothing of benefit to the farmer. They were absolutely superfluous, Mr Neate said, and ought to be removed, as they were drones in the industry.
