"FREE" MONEY
DANGEROUS PRECEDENT "THROWING MEN ON FARMS" The acceptance of "free" money for labour under 4b scheme was described by a member of the Poverty Bay provincial executive of the Farmers' Union as the creation of a dangerous precedent. Mr E. H. Richardson quoted a Government pamphlet entitled: " 'Free' money for farmers under No. 4b scheme." One of the conditions was that the workers would
have to be transported to the farm and home again on the completion of the work.
"If we accept this," Mr Richardson said, "we will soon have to transport all our shearers and everyone else. The scheme is just a means of throwing incompetent men on to the farms."
