(Published by Arrangement.) - N.Z. DAIRY PRODUCE CONTROL BOARD ELECTION. Hamilton, May 28, 1927. To the Electors. No. 3 Ward: Ladies and Gentlemen. — It was not my intention to again seek re-election, but in view of the chaotic state of the dairy industry I have acceded to the request of a number of the directors of co-operative dairy companies to again accept nomination. My views on the Dairy Control Board’s policy have been already clearly set forth in the press. I still believe in the absolute control of all butter and cheese, but before the industry can proceed and succeed it must secure a stable board of directors. The method of electioon must be radically altered, apd the socalled democratic system must go. Nothing short of a dairy council, with statutory powers, to elect ,a board to carry out its policy, will give the results desired by the producers. Such a board would be unanimous on all policy questions and should be free from trade or Government representation. The absolute control policy would not have been proceeded with had there not been good grounds for the belief that it would have been possible later to have the method pf election improved upon. However, the propaganda of the free marketers caused the policy of the board to be revised before such change took place. Any modification of the absolute control policy of the board which does not provide for price fixing is, in my opinion, worse than useless, and I claim that the pool, as it now exists, is a serious menace and should be abolished forthwith. I have personally spent a great de.al of time and money during the past five years actively supporting the policy pf the Dairy Board, and in this connection it is a pleasure to be able to say that one has greatly appreciated the very loyal and unswerving support of the large majority of dairy producers, not only of the Waikato, but also of the Auckland Province. If others had been equally consistent the desired results would htvve been achieved. If returned for No. 3 Ward 1 •'■'hall do all I can to protect and foster cooperative marketing of dairy produce. Yours faithfully, Wm. GOODFELLOW.
