"All we are he adds } "is a more even, distribution of the extra costs imposed on the who at the, present time have to find all labour for milking, etc. "Let us cooperate; let. farmers have, their meetings, but as Mr •y Lark give the sharemilkers a chance to put their case, uo the farmers. Let us, Sir, give up the idea of picking out individuals and attacking them personally. "Let us sit, around a conference table and talk these things out and so gain an inside, into the other fellows' troubles. I would like to see complete co-operation between the Sharemil'kers,' Union (affiliated with the New Zealand Workers' Union) and the Farmers' Union and so have an exchange of delegates from time to time. "With the war nearly ove.P let us be worthy of those boys who went overseas to light and give their lives that we might be. free. Le,t us ad-i here to those- principles of that human the Atlantic Charter and there will be no need for I i trij'e and unrest." t
