FARMERS’ UNION
“Protection Committees”
RESIST UNJUST TREATMENT
POSITION OF MORTGAGORS
(Per Press Association) WELLINGTON, This Day. The conference of the Auckland Provincial Farmers’ Union to-day adopted a motion that branches of the union be requested to form “farmers’ protection committees,’’ their objects to be to co-ordinate the interests of farmers inside and outside the union, to advise and assist farmers in difficulties under a seal of confidence, and to resist, by all possible constitutional means, any unjust treatment of farmers who are in difficulties owing to the econ - omic conditions.
The conference also decided to telegraph the Prime Minister wring that no farmer be put off his farm or sold up owing to the operation of price factors over which he had no control and stating that the conference was gravely alarmed at the action of both private and crown
mortgagees in evicting mortgagors in this time of national distress.
