ABSOLUTE CONTROL
ffo the Editor) Sir. —"Profits for the Producers" has a reply to the 1928 Committee on 1 absolute control. "P.F.T.P." would have the public to believe that the fruitgrowers are unanimous in upholding tire principles of compulsory control. This is not so. I do not object to or wish what "P.F.T.P." or.any other grower does with his fruit, but I certainly do not- agree that anyone has a moral ri'ght to say what I do with' my own that I have produced. It will take me a long time to make up the £SOO I lost last year through the Control Board, denying me the right to sell my own apples, even if the Control Board saves the growers anything, which I say they do not. The principle of compulsory control is quite foreign to all traditions and conceptions of British 4 a ' r pl a y an d the rights of individuals to their own property and as such sooner or later must come to an end, as any act of injustice cannot last for long in a British community.—l am, etc., BRITISH FAIR PLAY. Nelson, 23rd. July.
