“N.Z Apathy, Petty Differences Betray Allied Cause”
[Per Press Association Copyright.] DUNEDIN, This Day. Addressing a meeting of the Sheepowners’ Union, Mr James Begg, asserted that New Zealand was betraying the Allied cause by apathy and petty differences. Workers who demanded higher wages and employers who retained profits were, traitors. Training camps were more important today than farm accommodation. No amount of inexperienced labour would have an immediate effect on the volume of export. Such labour was much more urgently required in France than here. “Britain,” he said, “lost 30,000 men in North France and we should, and could, make good this loss, in addition to our division.”
