FARMERS AND HIGH EXCHANGE

TO THE EDITOS. .'. .; Sib,—ln answer to your correspondent Mr A. E. Robinson, provincial secretary to the'Farmers' Union, I'would like .to point out that I did not mention "pegged exchange." My letter referred to "high exchange "an altogether different, matter. The Manchester Guardian,, in an article written by Mr. A. E.-Robinson, stated that "high exchange was opposed to the Farmers' Union, the Sheepowhers* Federation, and all important farmers' organisations." This statement is well known in New Zealand to be'contrary to fact, and I fail to understand how Mr Robinson can, with integrity, justify his presentation of such an obvious misstatement to a United Kingdom paperi When judged by the accuracy of his con-' tribution to the Manchester Guardian, the value of Mr Robinson's propaganda in the New Zealand press •is most evf-. dentlv at a considerable discount.*—T am, etc..
