SECRET SESSION
URGED BY SIR HEATON RHODES. ENCOURAGEMENT OF FARM PRODUCTION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH. December 18. The necessity for the Government to take farmers into its confidence if production was to be increased, was urged by Sir Heaton Rhodes, M.L.C., a former Minister of the Crown, at a gathering of farmers at Brookside today. Sir Heaton advocated a secret session of Parliament on the lines of that held in England. “Farmers are being told today to produce more,” said Sir Heaton, “but it is difficult for farmers to undertake to do so, unless they are taken into the confidence of the Government at a time when the Government is piling up restrictions. “We should follow the Old Country and hold a secret session of Parliament. The Government should take all members into its confidence, and should co-operate with the farmers.”
