FARMERS AND FREE TRADE
PROTECTION OF Hi. INDUSTRIES [Peb United Pkesb Association A FElf/DUxG, 'February 10. At a meeting of the Wellington Provincial Executive of the Farmers’ Union to-day the union’s free trade plank was raised by Mr D. R. iM'Lean (Waimarino), who considered it Should be looked into and the fact ascertained whether or not greater protection might be extended for such commodities as can be profitably manufactured in the dominion. Mr M'Lean advanced the opinion that such protection would give every opportunity for creating massed production. “ It seems that wo must do all we can to support our secondary industries,” continued Mr M'Lean. “We seem to have reached the limit of expansion on the land. Annua] unemployment is rife and absentee labor is a greater curse tthan absentee landlords.” Mr M'Lean’s motion—“ That the union’s free trade plank bo investigated with the object of giving greater protection to secondary industries as suggested ’’—was carried.
