ACCLIMATISATION WORK
PROPOSALS BY MINISTER AIDING WEAKER SOCIETIES [by telegraph—OWN correspondent] CHRISTCHURCH, Friday "The Minister's proposals seem in the main to be moderate," said Dr. D. McK. Dickson, president of the North Canterbury Acclimatisation Society, when referring to the proposals of the Hon. W. K. Parry, Minister of Internal Affairs, for the reorganisation of the control of fishing and shooting in the Dominion. "I am glad this society did not get panicky and start crying 'Wolf' before there was a wolf about." The future of the societies seemed to be in their own hands, from what the Minister outlined, said Dr. Dickson. One thing lie did not like was the suggestion that all revenue should be paid to the. commission, which it -was proposed to set up. There were ways in which the weaker societies could be' assisted and the stronger bodies left alone. "We do not want any unseemly wrangle with the Minister," Dr. Dickson said. "At the moment it seems that we can negotiate if we have reasonable proposals to put up. To me, it seems that there is every indication that negotiation can be carried out amicably, and to our own decided advantage."
