THE COMMANDEER
OTAGO FARMERS’ APPEAL. EXTENSION FOR A MONTH. (Per United Press Association.) DUNEDIN, June 4. At the annual conference of the Otago Partners’ Union, Mr James Begg gave a resume of the conference held at Wellington last week on the subject of the meat commandeer, at which he was a delegate. The president of the Union, Mr John Christie, suggested that the Home Government might be asked to extend the commandeer for at least one month as far as the South Island was concerned, because the South Island was, through climatic differences, a month or two later than the North.
Mr Begg ami Mr A. S. Orbel! expressed the opinion that the Heme Government’s decision not tn extend the commandeer was absolutely final. After further discussion a resolution was adopted that the Minister of Agriculture be asked to cable an appeal to the Home Government requesting an extension of the commandeer by one month, and that the Home Government be asked to pay the cost of storage of meat at Home till the producers had an opportunity of placing their meat upon the market.
