SOCIALISATION.

GOVERNMENT ATTACKED. AGREEMENTS WITH BRITAIN. iPy Telegraph special to Times.) MORRINSVILLE, Monday. (Continued from Page 5.) Continuing Ills address to the gathering of farmers at Morrinsviile today Mr \V. J. Poison, M.P., said he did not think it possible to make bi-lateral agreements with Britain as the previous Government had been informed by Britain that she must have multi-lateral agreements or the Empire would lie broken up. The mi thuds of marketing would arouse hostility in Britain and would hasten the day when a levy or quota would come into force. Any suggestion of dictation would be vigorously resented by the conservative dealers and public in the United Kingdom, the Government failing to appreciate that the goodwill built up over 40 years would be lost when the produce was handed over to the Government to market. *• There Is a tremendous body of Labour opinion urging the nationalisation of land and l believe the leaders would he swayed by it.” added Mr Poison. ”If it conies Into force, it will reduce the people of the Dominion to the level of some of those pathetic peasantries of Europe or the Russian Soviet. “ We or our fathers came to this country to seek Independence and freedom. Are we prepared to become servants of the State without any incentive or desire to progress? The farming community will not stand for socialisation In any form.” A resolution w.i> carried thanking n ' i ippr »\ lug of tho
