Analogy with Farmers' Complaints
(By relegraph
WELLINGTON, Last Night. Asked to comment on the statemeni by the manufacturers regarding thei. difficulties, Hon. Adam Hamilton, Leader of tho Opposition, said: — Manufacturers, like farmers, are finding out that the Government's promises mean absolutely nothing. Just before the election the Labour Party published their platform, in which one of the main planks was 'the fostCring of secondary industries, sO as to ensuro the production -of those commoditiea which can be economically produced iu the Dominion.' "They also said ' negotiations would be Carried oUt between the Government and different branches of the farming industry to fix the guaranteed prices.' Manufacturers are as likely to have their industfies 'fosterod' as farmefs are to be concerned in any ' negotiations > with regard to the guaranteed price. "Having got into ofiiee, the Government takes no notice of the practica] eXperience of either the manufacturers or the farmers, preferring to rely on their own theories as to.what the position should be. Their theories do not square with the facts as the manufacturers and the farmers know them to be."
