DAIRY CONTROL BOARD

PATERSON AND WRIGHT FORMER RESIGNS POSITION. Electric Telegraph—Press Association LONDON, April 5. Air Stronach Paterson has written to Sir James Parr resigning his position as Government representative on the London agency of the New Zealand Dairy Control Board. The letter points out that Air Paterson discussed the matter fully with Air Chafes last November, and quotes Air Paterson’s letter to Air Coates of November Bth, suggesting that the only course open to the writer was to continue to work as opportunity offered for such modification of the machinery of control as might mitigate the bad results he feared, and for breaking down the prevailing hostility to New Zealand dairy produce also for the reestablishment of goodwill and cooperation in all branches of the daily produce trade in this country. To this Air Coates agreed. It also quotes a letter to Air Coates of December 28th, stating he would consent to carry on his duties as long as he had Air Coates’ confidence, of which Mr Coates assured him. Mr Coates alsp expressed the wish that he might carry on, with the understanding that Air Paterson should continue the policy outlined on November 8, which policy had since been scrupulously followed. In December, Air Paterson informed Air Coates that it was impossible to carry on if Air J. B. Wright were appointed to the London agency, and fully explained the reasons for this attitude.

As Mr AVright has now been appointed from the date of the departure of Alessrs lorns. and Alotion towards the end of this month. Air Paterson asks Sir James Parr to convey to the Prime Alinister his desire to resign his position, forthwith. FREE-MARKETING LEAGUE. NEW PLYMOUTH, Last Night.
