WOOLGROWERS AND SEAMEN
THE SUE-PLUS PROFITS ON WOOL. Writing to Newman, M.P., on tho subject of his proposal that the sur : ylus profits on wool commandeered b) the Imperial Government from now until tnt- end of the war should be devoted to a fund for the benefit of tho dependants of sailors of the Royal Navy and 1 mercantile marine killed or wounded in defence of tho Empire, tho Hon. Sir Wai. tor Buchanan, M.L.C., says: "Very many thanks for your valuable suggestion that the Now Zealand half of wool profits should be handed ovw as you have proposed for the benefit of our bravo seamen, who have not been i;o much iu tho limelight as the military, but who have—regardless of storm or sunshine—unflinchingly braved the hidden dangers of tho submarine. "Waking or sleeping they knew not tho moment when a euinsh might come, against which they had no possible defence. In this district, as well as all over tho Dominion, I feel sure that every settler without exception will back you up to the hilt, and I cannot eeo how the Government could refuse their hearty consent."
