SECRET SESSION URGED
FARMERS AND PRODUCTION NEED FOR CONFIDENCE (By Telegraph.—Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, Monday The necessity for the Government to take the farmers into its confidence if production was to be increased was urged by Sir Heaton Rhodes, M.L.C., at a gathering of farmers at Brookside to-day. Sir Heaton advocated a secret session of Parliament on the lines of that held in England. “Farmers are being told to-day 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 Great Britain and hold a secret session of Parliament. The Government should take all members into its confidence and should co-operate with the farmers.”
