LABOUR GOVERNMENT

CO-OPERATION SOUGHT Acting-Premier’s Address To Farmers Press Association —Copyright Dannevirke, May 27. In an address to farmers at the interprovincial conference to-day, the acting-Prime Minister, Hon. P. Fraser, assured delegates that the Government desingd the complete co-opera-tion of farmers and of all sections of industry in endeavouring to further the progress of the Dominion, and it desired the helpful co-operation of all useful and right-thinking people. At the last general election the people made their choice when the Labour Party was returned, said Mr Fraser. The Government’s intention was to honour its promises as far as was humanly possible. All sections

of the people must work amicably together for the betterment of the I country as a whole, and there must be ' an absence of the perpetual antagonj ism. They must endeavour to beI come members of one brotherhood, 1 as desired by St. Paul. It was the desire of the Government that no section of the people should benefit at the expense of any other section. It wanted all to share in the general prosperity of the country and the distribution of the wealth of the country. The Government wanted to see everyone adequately recompensed for his industry. There might be room for a serious and honest difference of opinion about the measures adopted by the Government, "said Mr Fraser, but it would at all times be willing to give serious consideration to any proposals which would be an improvement upon the present measures.
