SALE OF DAIRY PRODUCE l OPPOSITION TO THE NATIONAL DAIRY ASSOCIATION'S SCHEME. It has become a political axiom amongst all the British Parliaments that are studded around tie Seven Seas of the Great British Imperial Empire, "That there is no good government without a strong opposition." This article ef our faith is now descending- into our commercial and everyday life? The National Dairy Association has encountered strong opposition to their scheme for selling their dairy output to a single British firm. Mr. E. Maxwell, of

Opuiwike, Taranaki, is the opponent, and he has lost no time in circularising leading- men all over New Zealand. At the Franklin Sub-Provincial District New Zealand Farmors' Union this circular was discussed. !t is i' somewhat lengthy document, and we cannot publish it in full. He criticises the standing and position of the Co-operative Wholesale Society, England, which is the British firm that is negotiating with the National Dairy Association Tor the whole of New Zealand's- dairy produce. . He charges this firm with a policy that is against the interests erf the producer. He claims that by .selling to it pur high coloured New Zealand butter will be taken from bhe south and west of England anil sold in the north, where pale butter is a favourite, by so doing will'lose our present martet. He stated that English and Irish farmers have no time for this firm, that a few years ago it refused to deal in New Zealand produce when .approached by a New Zealand representative. In fact he claims it to be disastrous to our dairy industry to give the C.W.S. the control of our dairy produce. Like every good oppos;ti«n, ne propounds a. scheme of his own for a fortnightly market in Wellington, where lepreeentatives from all parts of the globe could enter into com petition and buy our dairy produce. After the circular was read con siderable discussion took place. Mr. Mellsop condemned the We! lington market idea as playing into the hands of the meat trusts. The delegates present telt that ♦here" might be something iv. !tt-.\ Maxwell's contention, but they considered that the men who composed the National Dairy Association, and who had all the facts and figures before them, together witt i lot oj inside information, mkdit be trusted to see that our market arrangements for dairy produce weue conserved, especially when we had men like Mr. Morton (chairman), and Mr. Oddfellow representing us on the Nations!

Dairy Association. • A "motion xo that effect was carlied. ■ , ~ ~ It was decided to thank Mr. K Maxwell for his very able letter, as it was felt it would have a good effect on those in charge of tte sale of our dairy produce and make them doubly careful in making arrangements for it* disposal.
