FARMERS FALL OUT

BRANCH BREAKAWAY. DIVERSITY OF OPINION. r REPORT TO EXECUTIVE. (Per Press Association.—Copyright,)' WELLINGTON, This Day. For some time there has been marked diversity of opinion between.--thev, Dominion Executive of the New Zea- : land Farmers’ Union and the Auckland Provincial Executive over some matters contained ,iri "Farming First,” the official organ of the latter body. ■ At a. recent Dominion Executive meeting a committee' consisting of Messrs W. W. Mulholland (chairman), H. E. Blyde, D. Dickie, C. C. Jackson,. W. Morrison, and E. H. Murney, considered the'position and presented the following report to the executive meet-j ing yesterday; —"We have discussed, with the Auckland representatives, ; Messrs A, A. Ross and R. H. Feisst, the, , continually-recurring domestic differences caused fundamentally by : sharp-:, ly-divergent ideas how best to press,, to finality the decisions of the Dominion Conference and executives. The discussion was at all times conducted , in a most friendly manner and all , parties fully realised the gravity. of tlie situation and the importance of any decisions which might'be reached.; 1 "It was found impossible to come to any understanding with the Auck-, land representatives which gave any. promise of being final. The committee therefore, with very great regret,. recommends that Mr Ross’ suggestionthat the Auckland Provincial Exeeu- ■ live bo allowed lo forth a separate or-;> ganisation, for whose policy the. Farmers’ Union will be in no way re-, sponsible, be accepted, and that he. be authorised to inform the Auckland Provincial Executive that the Dominion Executive would facilitate, in; a friendly way, such separation. The basis of separation should be decided at the earliest? possible moment, ’’ The report was unanimously adopted by the Dominion Executive, and will be considered by the Auckland Executive at its next meeting. - ;
