VIEWS OF AUCKLAND UNION.

By Telegraph.— -Press Association. Auckland. Last Night.

The provincial executive of the Farmers’ Union adopted a report by the political committee to the effect that active steps had been taken to impress upon the Government the urgent necessity of definite action in regard to certain matters of vital interest to the farming community as follows: The position with regard to retrenchment, so far as it had gone, was satisfactory: the position with regard to the compulsory pooling and market’ng of exports was satisfactory, but the Question of a producers’ shipping line could bp left in abeyance for the present: that if a satisfactory Agricultural Banking Act was passed during thia session the Country Partv should not put up any candidate at the forthcoming election; and that the members of the union bp recommended to support the candidates who would pledge themselves to support the proposals mentioned, ro that the Government might be enabled to carry them out as soon as practicable. It was resolved to telegraph to thp Government urging that legislation be brought forward this session for establishing agricultural banks on the lines advocated by the Dominion conference.
