UNEMPLOYMENT EVIL
MASSED PRODUCTION THE PANACEA INDUSTRIAL PROTECTION URGED Press Association. FEILDING, Friday. At a meeting of the Wellington Provincial Executive of the Farmers' Union to-day the union's free trade Plank was raised by Mr. D. D. McLean (Waimarino), who considered it should be looked into and the fact ascertained whether or not greater protection might be extended for such commodities as can be profitably manufactured in the Dominion. Mr, McLean advanced the opinion that such protection would give every opportunity for creating massed production. "It seems that we must do all we can to support our secondary industries.” continued Mr. McLean. “We seemed to have reached the limit of expansion on the land, annual unemployment Is rife and absentee labour js a greater curse than absentee landlords.” Mr. McLean's motion that the union’s free trade plank be investigated with the object of giving greater Protection to secondary industries as suggested was carried.
