DAIRY CONTROL DISPUTE

. MR. PATERSON NOT ALONE. OTHER RESIGNATIONS REPORTED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. Regarding the London agency of the Dairy Produce Board, advice has reached Auckland indicating that Mr. Paterson is not alone in his resignation, but that three representatives of the Importers* Association, who were appointed as an advisory committee to the agency in November, had found it impossible to carry on and, in February, had severed their connection as advisors. Three other members of the association were persuaded, "with some difficulty,” to take their places. It is stated that after three months, these advisors found it impracticable to carry on. It was stated that the influence of the advisors with the board was nil. In fulfilment of a promise made to the New Zealand producers, that they would afford the board their fullest cooperation, the association decided to appoint three other members as an advisory committee. The members who accepted office were Sir Thomas Clement, of Andrew Clement and Sons, Mr. Jas, Gillanders, dairy produce broker, and Mr, Davidson, of J. and A. Lonsdale and Co., Ltd. Information now available suggests that the experience of this committee was akin to that of its predecessor.
