To avoid the distressing spectacle of an industry divided against itself, the atmosphere of [Ktliticnl cJiitrovorsy vith which the Dairy Produce Board lias lately been enveloped, must be dissipated. and ideas that, a minority can he coerced at the will of the majority must he abandoned. Then, and then only the dairy-farmers will be aide to utilise fully the .strength of their numbers, and turn it to useful ends, instead ol wasting it on vain endeavours as the .statement of Air Irons shows plainly they did in their campaign for price control on the London market.—‘‘New Zealand Herald.”

In overcoming the temporary depression from which New Zealand is suffering the wage-earner must take his share of responsibility.

And it is fitting that representatives of an important British industry should be deputed to study our needs, for increased trading would be mutually beneficial. AYe admit inir dependence upon the Home markets tor the disposal of the bulk of our primary products, and that tact places the delegation in a favoured position. D tfnx visit should In l the piveursor of similar inquiries by other branches ol British industry into the possibilities of the overseas markets ol the Empire. the development will be welcomed. Any and every thing that tend to bind u- more clo-eK together i, of ratin', and the past played hr trade is well known and fully appro-! dated.— " Lyttelton Tinisc.”
