“The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.” said Mr Montagu Norman, when he heard of the spreading of the Social Credit movement. “We must see that the caravan of high finance is put definitely out of action, for good and all,” stated Colonel Closey at the Douglas Conference at New Plymouth. The opinion was expressed at the last meeting of the Horowhenua County Council that the regulations designed for the control of blackberry were futile in their present form. As it was, it was stated, the regulations required that blackberry had to be cleared from farm lands by March 31. but by that date the vines had seeded and the harm was done for that season. To be effective, it was suggested, the clearing of blackberry, and also of sweet brier, should be carried out in January. It was decided that the attention of the Minister of Agriculture be drawn to the position.
