SIR J, PARR AND THE FARMERS.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —Rumour hath it that Sir James Parr is angling for an Invitation to carry Reform colours in the. next contest for the Waikato seat. One could conclude from Sir James’ tirade in to-night’s paper that this was a Labour stronghold instead of being a purely farming community. It is surely a unique way of gaining the farmers’ vole and sympathy by attacking their organisation and best-known and respected leaders. Anyone who has listened lo Sir James Parr's recent speeches will recognise the fact iliat he is out of touch with ihe farmers’ needs, no matter how much he knows about marketing our goods at the other, end. The need of to-day is not so much a heller marketing system but a cheaper producing one; and what does Reform, United or Labour offer by way of alleviating I lie. (roubles of Hie harassed farmer, who alone pays 11 1 c country's hills?—l am. etc., STRAWBERRY. Cambridge. June 2, 1931.
