CONSCRIPTION OF CAPITAL
FARMERS FAVOUR SCHEME REMITS AT CONFERENCE Press Association WELLINGTON. Today. The Farmers’ Union Conference yesterday carried a motion by one vote, “That, in the event of any war involving this nation, mobilisation shall extend not only to human life, but to all resources, and that machinery for this purpose shall be designed at once.” Other motions were: That the farmers of the Dominion would not tolerate both land and income tax being imposed at the same time. That the conference ask the Government to convene a conference of representatives of all organisations dealing with, and affected by, hospital finance, with a view to determining a more equitable basis of hospital rating. That the conference deprecates the action of the Prime Minister in increasing the rate of wages for relief works, thereby making it more attractive to unskilled labour, with the result that it is drawing men away from other occupations and accentuating the unemployment problem.
