INTOLERABLE TRADE
HOME-LIFE ENDANGERED. The recent Supreme Court trial in Wellington of a woman arraigned on a serious charge was referred to briefly at the Wellington Central provincial executive meeting of the Farmers' Union at Feilding. Mr. G. L. Marshall said it seemed that in the face of the refusal of four juries to convict, a large percentage of the male population of New Zealand believed that this "trade" was necessary. Its presence was endangering the home-life of the country and he was surprised that there had not been an outcry against an intolerable state of affairs. It was announced that the Women's Division of the union was moving in the matter, and the executive passed a motion urging the Dominion executive to offer co-operation.
