Charge Against Royal Commissioner
(From Our Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON, This Day. When the House met at 2.30 p.m. yesterday, Mr A. E. Jull (National. Waipawa) gave notice to ask the Prime Minister whether his attention had been called to a letter in a Wellington paper, signed by Arthur Cook, a member of the Royal Commission set up to consider the position of the farming industry, in which Mr Cook assailed the president and organisation of the Farmers’ Union. Did the Prime Minister consider that any member of a Royal Commission who showed such bias against one of the parties at whose request the commission was set up, and who deliberately violated the accepted principles of judicial conduct, was a fit and proper person to act on a Royal Commission of inquiry.
