"FARMERS BROKE”
POSITION IN ENGLAND GOVERNMENT IDLE By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 10.30 a.m. LONDON, Thursday. “Farmers whose names are household words in agriculture are giving up their tenancies because they cannot continue in the existing conditions,” said the Right Hon. E. G. Prettyman M.P.. and formerly Civil Lord of the Admiralty, lecturing to the Economic League. “Notice is being given in every direction,” said Mr. Prettyman, "partly because the farmers are broke, and partly because It is impossible to carry on profitably. The nation does not realise the disastrous position. We have the wrong Government, and it is playing with the situation. It is a sin, a shame, and a scandal if it refuses to face the responsibilities, which are sieecntuated by the worst harvest since 1879.’'—A. and N.Z.
