UNEMPLOYMENT.
FARMER SPEAKS OUT. Feilding, February 10. At a meeting of the Wellington Provincial Executive of the Farmers’ Union to-day, the Union’s Freetrade Plank was raised by Mi-. D. D. McLean (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. McLean advanced the opinion that such protection would give every opportunity for creating massed production. “It seems that we must do all we can to support our secondary industries,” continued Mr. McLean. .“We seem to have reached the limit of our expansion on the land. Annual unemployment is rife and absentee labour is a greater curse than absentee landlords.” Mr. McLean’s motion that the Union’s Freetrade Plank be investigated with the object of giving greater protection to secondary industries, as suggested, was carried.
