LABOUR’S CRITICISM
AGRICULTURE CONTROL ACT. MONEY THE PROBLEM TO SOLVE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Tauranga, Nov. 22. In an address here the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. M. J. Savage, made an exhaustive survey of the position of the dairy farmer in the light of the Dairy Commission’s report and recent legislation. ’ He criticised what he termed the chief elements of autocratic government in the Agriculture (Emergency Powers) Act, stating that autocratic government in industry as a whole must inevitably be followed by similar methods in die Parliament of the Dominion. He considered that the immediate need of primary industries, with particuar reference to the dairy industry, was a readjustment of mortgage liabilities and a guaranteed price for produce, which could be maintained by the productivity of the whole of the industries and services of the Dominion. The main problem to be solved, he contended, was the money problem and this could be brought about by establishing a national banking system with absolute power to issue and control money in keeping with the requirements of production and distribution.
