TAKING OVER FARMS
MR SAVAGE’S DENIAL “NOT A SECOND NED KELLY ” A further reference to the question of the socialisation of land was made by the Prime. Munster (Mr Savage) when speaking to farmers at Kai Iwi. ‘fl have not come amongst you for the purpose oi Stealing your farms, he said. It has been said that we are out to take your farms. Just what we would do with them I am not too sure. You are the people who would have to work them if we carried out the socialisation of them. I have always found that a man worth, his salt who owns his farm works better than anyone else, and it is a better thing that you should stay on your farms and make them homes for yourselves and your children. ■ . “With this story about the socialisation of land, I suppose you may think that a second edition oi Ned Kelly has come here to-day. Though I was born in the same district in which New Kelly did his bushranging, I did not inherit his methods. Since then I have met some people who were not much better.” '
