HIGH AND LOW PRICES.
To the Editor. Sir, —If primary producers would promise to share their gain when or if high prices prevail, a larger and more equitable measure of assistance would be forthcoming from lessors and mortgagees and the Government while prices are very low. Consumers would accept the proposal for an increase ox twopence in the price of butter sold in New Zealand, while export prices are so low, if producers would in their turn reduce its local price by twopence when they are receiving a comparatively high price in the English market. This reciprocal action would be fair and effectual. To be helpful no aid should be based upon a promise other than comparatively high prices could sustain. Some application of the principle of co-operation in the sharing of price risks would be as successful as it should be extensive. —I am, etc. HAROLD BOWATER. Feilding, December 19, 1932.
