Control Of
(Per Press Association. — Copyright) HASTINGS. This Day. A suggestion that has been widely circulated that the Government was requested by the recent Dominion Conference to take over the sale of fruit throughout Now Zealand, was refuted by Mr R. Paynter, a former chairman of the Fruit Export Control Board, when addressing a meeting of growers at Hastings. Mr Faynter explained that the Minister of Marketing, the Hon. W, Nash, was approached to co-operate with the growers in ordering the system of distribution of fruit throughout the Dominion. He doubted if 10 per cent, of the growers would favour the Government taking over the industry.
The suggestion was made by Mr A. Lowe, who was also a delegate to thu conference. that the problem confronting the industry could possibly largely be overcome by widening the powers of the present Fruit Control Board to include local marketing as well as export. He was satisfied that the two could not be separated.
