Mr. Gunson, one of members Efficiency Board, is wiring Wellington about omission. IT WILL TEND INTERFERE WHEATGROWING IF NOT PROMPTLY RECTIFIED. \. • VIRTUE. P.. Virtue, Auckland. In reply to your wire of fourth addressed to Hon. Mac Donald, am ADVrSED BY CHAIRMAN EFFICIENCY BOARD THAT' PUBLISHED LIST OF ESSENTIAL INDUSTRIES IS ONLY A TENTATIVE ARRANGEMENT, AND NOT NECESSARILY BOARD'S FINAL DECISION. QUESTION OF FLOUR MILLING STILL' UNDER CONSIDERATION. In. any case, as AGRICULTURE IS ONE MOST ESSENTIAL LIST. THE GROWING OF WHEAT NEEDN'T BE AFFECTED, as you seem to fear. Kind regards, ARTHUR MYERS. 8/5/17. Hon. Arthur Myers, Wellington. THANKS, 'STRANGE EFFICIENCY SHOULD REQUIRE SUCH ELABORATE THOUGHT AND TIME TO DEFINE IF FLOUR, OATMEAL, KW& REALLY ESSENTIAL .INDUSTRIES, AND IF IN ANY WAY ALLIED TO WHEATGROWING. BREAD-MAKING, and PORRIDGE CONSUMPTION. It doe 3 appear farcical, hut probably viewed as masterly, unless DESIRE 1 IS FOR THE DOMINION'S HUMAN RACE TO CONSUME- WHOLE CORN, HUSKS. AND IMPURITIES TO BRING ABOUT A DEFICIENCY ■ TO COUNTERACT CONSCRIPTION. Kind regards, VIRTUE.
