PAYMENT FOR WOOL
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS LIKELY A public meeting of Feilding farmers passed a resolution protesting against the decision of the Government regarding the method of payment of the extra 15 per cent for wool. The resolution stated that the Government had perpetrated a grave injustice to the wool growers in compulsorily ordering them to subsidise the woollen manufacturing industry and had usurped the rights of individuals in compelling the wool growers to subscribe to a loan by converting part of the cash payment legally due to them into non-nego-tiable bonds. The meeting questioned the right of the Government to take this action and recommended that legal proceedings be taken to test its validity.
