There must be an absence of perpetual antagonism. They must endeavour to become members of one brotherhood, as desired by Ist. Paul.

It was the desire of the Government that not one section of the people should benefit at tlie expense of any other section. They wanted all to snare in the general prosperity ot the country and the distribution of the wealth of the country. Tito Government wanted to see. everyone adequately compensated foi their industry. There might be room for serious and honest differences ot opinion us to the measures adopted by the Government, but if would at all times lie willing to give serious consideration to any proposals which would be an improvement upon the, present measures, particularly in relation to guaranteed prices. it would be disastrous lor the countiy it there were antagonism between various sections of the people, it was essential for all to work amicably in Die. best interests of the country us a whole.
