MR BARCLAY AT GORE
CHAIRMAN’S VERSION OF MEETING (P.A.) INVERCARGILL, Apl. 30.
“It is incorrect for the Minister to say that I made no attempt to call the meeting to order,” said Mr Henry Smith, of Waikaka Valley, who was chairman of the meeting at Gore last week which was addressed by the Minister of Agriculture, Mr J. G. Barclay. Mr Smith was replying to the statement by the Minister about the reasons for his action in leaving the meeting. “When Sergeant-major T. C. Yates challenged the Minister I immediately called for order,” Mr Smith said. “ Sergeant-major Yates immediately respected my i*uling. Unfortunately, Mr Barclay, who became very heated, declared his intention of leaving the meeting, which up to that point, with the exception of an occasional interjection, had been well behaved , and had given the Minister a good hearing.”
