“Make this league a live organisation,” the General advised the conference, “so that it will attract attention throughout the Dominion. Nothing succeeds like success!”

He characterised the league, v/hich was formally inaugurated on his motion, as “briefly, an intelligence department.”

‘The Auckland A. and P. Association takes the sole responsibility for calling this conference,” declared its president, Mr. W. W. Massey, when welcoming Sir Andrew Russell.

A discordant note was uttered by Mr. R. D. Duxfield, who trenchantly criticised the new league. “The Farmers’ Union,” he declared, ‘had all the organisation that was necessary without establishing a new league. “I have seen so many similar organisations fail for want of funds,” said Mr. Duxfield.

He regretted that Sir Andrew Russell did not take the keen interest in the Farmers’ Union that he once did.

“Too many drones already.” declared Mr. J. Peat, who described himself as “a small farmer from near Whangarei.” He opposed the establishment of the new league. If the league did nothing else but cement good feelings between the city dweller and the farmer, declared the Hon. George Fowlds, it would serve a great purpose. (Applause.) Mr. Fowlds declared that the services of Dr. Bellshaw, the recentlyappointed professor of political economy, who would shortly arrive in Auckland from England, would be of inestimable value to the farming community. “Time we got our coats off and did something for ourselves!” declared Mi 4 W. Chapman (Waikato).

“The sooner we realise that we can never come back to pre-war days, the better it will be for all of us,” declared Mr. W. J. Holdsworth, chairman of the Auckland Power Board.

The league, he said, could do no harm, and had possibilities for much good. “When a man is hungry he does not care what is the scientific composition of the loaf,” said Captain Colbeck (Morrinsville). He wanted something for to-day. Scientific research was a thing for the future. “The Control Board has played havoc,” said Mr. J. G Hughes (Grey Lynn) who accused the board of “confiscation” He strongly advocated .a reciprocal tariff with America. “The manufacturers believe that by helping the farmers they are helping themselves, and that the prosperity of this country depends on a happy balance between both farmer and manufacturer,” declared Mr. J. A. C. Ailum, president of the Auckland Manufacturers’ Association.

Sir Andrew Russell was unanimously elected president pro tern, Mr. G. Finn to the position of treasurer, and Mr. W. G. McArthur convenor.

Committee elected included: Messrs. A. M. Bisley (Hamilton), C. C. Munro (Clevedon), William McAntherot (Auckland), Malcolm McArthur (Auckland), A. A. Ross (Te Kawhata), Robert Burns (Auckland), W. W. Massey (Auckland), Albert Spencer (Auckland), James Boddie (Te Kuiti), 11. S. Eastgott (Auckland), W. J. Broadfoot (Auckland), E. E. Vaile (Reparoa), G. R. Hutchison (Auckland), Edwin Harding (Dargaville), A. W. Perkins, Fred Hellaby, W. J. Holdsworth and George Finn (Auckland).

A plea for good roads in the farming districts was entered by Mr. Albert Spencer, president of the Auckland Employers’ Association.

“Mr. Duxfield’s reference to the Farmers’ Union came from himself, and not from the Union,” declared Mr. C. C. Munroe (Auckland president, Farmers’ Union). Personally, he was in favour of the league.

“We welcome assistance from another body,” he declared. (Applause).

The settlement of land had absolutely ceased, declared Mr. A. A. Ross (Farmers’ Union), and of the value of such a league there was no question. (Proceeding).
