THE WOOL PURCHASE.
IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT’S TERMS APPROVED.
Hastings, June 26
The president of the Hawke’s Bay branch of the Farmers’ Union (H. M. Campbell) has sent the following telegram to the Hon. Mr MacDonald, Minister for Agriculture: “Re Imperial purchase N.Z. wool. As president, I wish to protest against Mr Lysnar’s action in trying to delay, or in any way alter, the terms of the Imperial Government’s commandeering of N.Z. wool for the forthcoming year. Practically every grower here is quite satisfied with the present basis of commandeering, Mr Lysnar is acting without this Union’s authority.” Interviewed, Mr Campbell said the woolgrowers had been well treated by the Imperial Government, and it would be extremely unpatriotic to try and bleed them for the last possible penny the wool may be worth.
