FARMERS’ UNION.
CONFERENCE AT WELLINGTON. ADDRESS BY PREMIER. ?Bnr Telejnraph.—Press Association'* WELLINGTON, Tuesday. Opening the Farmers’ Union Conference to-day the Premier, Hon. G. W. Forbes said no Government could carry on unless it balanced its budget, and it similarly'behoved individuals to balance their budgets. Also there was an all-round call for thrift, as overspending would bring disaster on the Dominion’s credit abroad. One of the biggest difficulties was unemployment, which had in a large measure been due to the introduction of laboursaving devices. Next session the Government 1 would bring down legislation in an endeavour to place the position on a sounder footing. There was no need for pessimism. They should pay every attention to increasing production in order to answer the depressed prices.
