PERMANENT UNION COMMITTEE. PROPOSAL BY MR. W. J. POLSON. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Oct. 26. The executive of the Farmers’ Union to-day placed on record its appreciation of the services rendered by Sir Francis Boys, Christchurch, who represented the union in an advisory capacity at Ottawa. Mr. W. J. Polson, M.P., Dominion president, recommended the setting up of a permanent committee to deal with questions of national importance, and said he would move at a later stage in that direction. He said the outlook for the coming season was most serious, and the position was becoming such that farmers could not be blamed for demanding that further consideration should be given to them. Rural telephones were discussed. It was agreed that the matter would probably right itself, and the meeting decided to take no further action.
A commitee was set Up to . report on the subject of a central bank on the lines of Sir Otto Niemeyer’s report. Mr. Polson said the union should define its attitude before the matter was finalised by the Government.
