SMALL FARMS ACT
FARMERS’ UNION REQUEST TO GOVERNOR=GENERAL REFUSAL OF ROYAL ASSENT. LORD GALWAY UNABLE TO AGREE. . (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Advice has been received by the Dominion executive of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union that its request that the Governor-General should withhold the Royal Assent from the Small Farms Amendment Act has been declined. The letter to the Union from the official secretary to the Governor-General stated: “I am directed by his Excellency to say that he has given the matter his most careful consideration and has discussed the question with the Prime Minister, but that, as the Bill has been passed by both Houses of the Legislature, and. moreover, as the Go-vernor-General is advised that no justification can be seen, either from the constitutional or any other point of view, for the withholding of the Royal assent in this instance, his Excellency regrets that he is unable to accede to the wishes of your Dominion executive.
