TROOPS, NOT FARMERS.
NEEDED IN WAR EFFORT. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, June 7. Addressing a meeting of the Sheepowners’ Union, Mr James Begg asserted that New Zealand was betraying the Allies’ cause by apathy/ and petty differences. Workers who demanded high m wages and employers who were .retaining higher profits were traitors. Mr Begg said training camps were more important to-day than farm accommodation. Nj amount of inexperienced labour would have an immediate effect on the volume of exports. If such labour was available it was much more, urgently , required in France than here, Britain, had lost 3Q.000 flien in tlie North of France. We should and could make good this loss in, addition to our division.
