GOVERNMENT AND TRADE.
INTERFERENCE OPPOSED.
THE MARKETING POOLS.
Strong disapproval of Government interference with trading and also with the accepting of financial obligations by the Government' in connection with marketing pools, was expressed in a Wellington remit carried at the conference of Associated Chambers of Commerce. "We, as business _ men, must enter an emphatic protest against constant Government interference with trade, _ said Mr. A. Mackenzie (Wellington), in moving the adoption of the" remit. The growing disposition on the part of politicians toward State interference had resulted in th 6 existence of a Meat Producers Board, armed with coercive powers that placed the whole meat trade of the country at its mercy, and now they had the Dairy Produce Control Bogrd. Other enterprises were proposed. The astounding thing was the utter disregard by politicians of failures of such enterprises in other countries, examples of which were quoted. Serious losses had been suffered in Australia, England, and the United States.
