DAIRYING OUTLOOK

MR. FULTON’S MESSAGE OFF! Cl Ai i ('ONTRADICTION (l’er Priiss Association.) WELLINGTON, last night. Statements relative to tin* dairy produce situation cabled from Ibig--Isttui to tin* Now Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company, Limited, by its chairman oJ‘ directors, Mr. Dynes Fulton, were* assailed by the Prime Minister, the Hi. Hon. G. W. Forbes, to-day. Mr. Forbes’ said advice obtained from London following the publication of Mr. Fulton’s cable message showed that the comments ascribed to that gentleman had no foundation whatever. “It is, I think, up to Mr. Dynes Fulton, to state explicitly the authority for his statement, or to indicate how it could be authenticated, as it is obviously most, misleading,’ said Mr. Forbes, “ft has already been made dear that New Zealand did not offer to abolish her whole tariff against goods imported from Great Britain. Nobody who is at all conversant with the facts regards that as a possibility, and it is regrettable that the truth of this matter has been so flagrantly misrepresented in England. “Finally, a warning should be given against the acceptance as reliable of propaganda and guesses that come from sectional interests, The conduct between countries is a difficult enough matter at any time. The position is needlessly complicated, and made more difficult when unauthorised individuals outside of the regular and accepted channels affect to assume a responsibility that does not belong to them, and the public should be on guard against being misled by such irresponsible tactics.”
