PARTY POLITICS

CRITICISM OF FARMERS’ UNION. BRANCH CHAIRMAN RESIGNS. “Party politics have crept into the Union to such an extent that I do not think it is any longer non-political,” stated Mr F. E. Jansen, announcing at today’s meeting of the Wairarapa Provincial Executive of the Farmers’ Union that he had resigned from the chairmanship of the Featherston branch. The Farmers’ Union, he added, had adopted the compensating price, which he did not think it fully understood. They did not know what they were introducing a,nd in that respect at least had let the farming community down. In the circumstances he could not conscientiously' support an institution whose principles were contrary to his own. The Union was not working in the best interests of the farmers. The- president, Mr Hugh Morrison, said he regretted that Mr Jansen had seen fit to resign from the Union on the question of party politics and referred to Mr Jansen’s work on the executive.
