THE SOUTHERN "TENTATIVE" EFFICIENCY. CONTINGENT IS IN A QUANDARY IF WHEAT AND OAT-GROWING IS JN ANY WAY ALLIED TO FLOUR AND OATMEAL MILLING. PROBABLY THE NBXI BRAIN WORRY; WILL BE IP WIND IS NECESSARY FOR A WINDMILL, AND THEN THE APPEAL COURT FOR THE' FINAL. (VIDE TELEGRAMS.) 4/5/17. Hon. Mac Donald, Wellington. Press Association re classification of industries HAS OMITTED FLOUR AND OATMEAL ONES. IF THEY ARE NOT ESSENTIAL, NO NECESSITY TO GROW WHEAT OATS. Mr. GunsoD, one of members Efficiency Board, is wiring Wellington about omission. IT WILL TEND INTERFERE WHEATGROWING IE NOT PROMPTLY EECTIFIED. VIRTUE. P. Virtue, . Auckland. In reply to your wire of fourth addressed to Hon. Mac Donald, am ADVISED BY CHAIRMAN EFFICIENCY BOARD THAT PUBLISHED LIST OP 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. I THANKS, STRANGE EFFICIENCY SHOULD REQUIRE SUCH ELABORATE THOUGHT AND TIME TO DEFINE IF FLOUR, OATMEAL. ARE REALLY ESSENTIAL INDUSTRIES. AND IF IN ANY WAY ALLIED TO WHEATGROWING, BREAD-MAKING, and PORRIDGE CONSUMPTION. It does appear farcical, but probably viowed as masterly, unless DESIRT3' IS FOR THE DOMINION'S HUMAN RACE TO CONSUME WHOr.E CORN, HUSKS.' AND TMPURTTIES TO BRING ABOUT A DEFICIENCY TO COUNTERACT CONSCRIPTION. Kind regards, VIRTUE. CHAMPION, 'THE ONLY ADVOCATE OF FAIR PLAY FOR HIS PEOPLE. (VIDE COPY OF CORRESPONDENCE.) "J. H. GUNSON,. Esq., Efficiency Board, Auckland. Dear Sir,— RE DISTRIBUTION AND EFFICIENCY. "OUR BAKERS AND OTHERS IN 'IKE BREAD TRADE ARE PERTURBED ABOUT THE SUGGESTED MODE OF DISTRIBUTING BREAD FROM ONE CENTRAL DEPOT. If it is given effect to it will scatter to the four' winds CONNECTIONS THAT HAVE TAKEN YEARS TO BUILD UP BY QUALITY AND REDUCE THE' .STANDARD QUALITY, being devoid of competition, and render the respective working plants (delivery) valueless. As you are aware, a fair number of women t in this city are making a living at selling home-made pastry and cakes, and if prohibition in these lines ib to be carried it will extinguish a large number of men and women connected with this industry, and what good will it do, but causo suffering? , "MR. FROSTICK (of your Board) • IS CLOSELY CONNECTED -WITH THE BOOT AND WOOLLEN IN- . DUSTRTfIS; HE MIGHT JUST AS WELL XDVOCATE THAT THE RETAIL SHOPS FOR THOSE ARTICLES SHOULD BE CLOSED AND LARGE DISTRIBUTING CENTRES BE CREATED UNDER v HIS CONTROL. "PROBABLY THE NEXT ERRATIC ' BRA IX WAVE WILL BE ' THAT THERE SHOULD BID ONE . DISTRIBUTING '-CENTRE FOR MEAT, FISH. MILK. ANT) BUTTER. SUCH SUGGESTIONS RH FOOD SUPPLIES ARE VERY INSANITARY.
