THE FARMER'S PLIGHT

gir,—ln your issue of Monday, July 25, there' is a most interesting letter by i "Dairyman" about the farmers' plight, end'ng with the assertion that "when the fanners have pulled us through tile slump • • • people will realise that they have done it, not by the help of the Government, but in spite of it." "Dairyma; 's" last five words, "but in spite of it," are attractive. There may be an assoHment of views about the present Government, but if it has done nothing else it has stretched itself to protect the fanner—sometimes almost to the prejudice of other interests. But when one of the farmers- can come out and say that the farmers will succeed, "in spite of the Government," it may well be suggested that "Dairyman" bo good enough to divulge what it is that the. Government is doing to prevent the farmers from pullinc the Dominion out of the slump. John M^Cohmack. Bay of Islands. (Sometime a fanner.)
