MOST UNFAIR
GUARANTEED PRICE FIGURE Mr Lambert, at the annual meeting meeting of suppliers to the Rangitaiki Dairy Company at Eldgecumbe last Thursday strongly condemned the action of the Government in not making any adjustment in the Guaranteed Price. Farmers, he said., had been faced with one rise after another. In all other industries increases had been made in the returns of the workers, and many of these reflected directly upon the farmers costs —the freezing workers, watersiders, railway rates. All the money had to come out of the one pool of supply and it could not go on without bringing disaster to the farming community and with them the rest of the country. He then moved that the New Zealand Dairy Board be urged to use every means in its power to bring about an increase in the guaranteed price commensurate Avith the rise in costs to the farmer, which if allowed to go unchecked and uncompensated for, would have a disastrous effect upon the primary industry. Mr I. Gow seconded and the mo-, tion was carried unanimously.
