MORE EFFECTIVE FORCE.

REORGANISATION OF FARMERS’ UNION. Electric Telegraph— Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night, The reorganisation of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union along lines that would make the central executive a mere and effective force was iorecast to-day by the national president, Mr W. J. Pol.on. M.P., in a talk to the North (. aiitorburv executive. i In the early day's the union was cut up into branches and provinces more, or less in the control of their own destinies with headquarters as the figurehead, said Mr Poison. It was felt now that headquarters should bo given power to have more initiative and some measure of control over the provinces, some of winch wore now more or less of a liability to farming as a whole than an asset. The reorganisation, would take that into consideration. “We. have to become a more effective force in the field ol general politics,” said Mr Poison. ‘‘The whole organisation must be bound into one unit so that it may take a Jive fighting interest in the affairs of the'" industry. This is only under discussion so far. We find that sometimes we put up resolutions to Parliament that perhaps in our calmer moments ue would not have insisted on, but where wo put up a soundly-argued case we invariably, gain our point sooner or later.”
