WOOL IMPROVEMENT SCHEME
SIR WILLIAM PERRY’S VIEWS MISUNDERSTANDING REMOVED. (Per United Press Association.) MASTERTON, August 6. In order to clear up any possible misunderstanding ( of his attitude towards the wool improvement scheme Sir William Perry has made the following statement on the subject:— “ Owing to some statements I made at Masterton in explaining the attitude of the Meat'Board towards wool improvement, and some remarks I probably have made privately on the question, there seems to be some doubt as to my opinion about the wool improvement scheme which I had a hand, with others, in launching at Palmerston North. The scheme is an excellent one, and if it can bo brought into operation should, in capable hands, yield very valuable results. On the other hand, with the farmers nor unanimous on the question of a wool levy, and the Meat Board having some surplus funds, there probably will be some difficulty in getting the legislation instituting the levy through Parliament. No one who has followed the campaign on this question can have any uncertainty as to my whole-hearted support of the scheme as a whole. The only question on which I have had any doubt relates to the means of getting the scheme into operation.”
