The Minister and the Reporter.
Several weeks ago the Hon. W. Nosworthy, the Minister of Agriculture, heatedly repudiated some remarks attributed to him in the newspaper reports of a piece he spoke at a meeting between the Prime Minister and a body of Taranaki dairy farmers. The reports stated, in effect, that Mr Nosworthy had said that ho never had intended absolute control of the shipment and marketing of dairy produce to come into effect until circumstances arose making this step necessary, and that it might be better to let it stand over for a while. The Minister's repudiation of these reports reflected either upon the ability of the reporters or upon the integrity of the papers and steps were taken to test the justice of the Minister’s comments. It now has been shown that Mr Nosworthy used words entirely in accord With the tenor of the reports and the proof of this is being submitted to tha Minister in the expectation that he will withdraw the aspersions he has cast upon the reporters and their employers.
