"UNFAIR"
LABOUR ATTEMPT TO DIVIDE THE FARMERS Hawera, Wednesday. A suggestion recently made in Auckland by Mr. W. J. Jordan, M.P., that the Labour Party was the natural ally of the farmer, was ridiculed by Mr. W. J. Polson, president of the Farmers' Union, during an address at Hawera, last evening. Mr. Polson declared that the farmers had nothing in common with Labour, and that there was a wide divergence between nationalisation on the one hand and individualism on the other. Mr. Jordan made a suggestion that the small farmer had nothing to expect from the larger farmer. That was an adroit attempt to drive a weldge between the farming community. Whether the farmer was in a small or in a large way, his problems and ideals were the same. Mr. Jordan's suggestion was ridiculous and unfair.
