INCREASE IN WOOL PRICES
GOVERNMENT PROPOSALS. FLAT REFUSAL AT HAWERA. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) NEW PLYMOUTH, June 18. A protest against the Government’s proposal to retain part of the increase in wool prices granted by Britain to New Zealand producers to cover increased costs of production was made at a meeting of sheep farmers at Hawera today. The meeting by resolution flatly rejected the suggestion that receipt of the increase was inflationary and expressed resentment against “the threat to adopt a policy of reprisal against meat producers not agreeing to retention of part of the 15 per cent.” The meeting decided also to refuse flatly to subsidise the woollen mills, the resolution suggesting that if on inquiry the position of the mills was found to require assistance some other means should be found.
