FARMERS’ UNION.
SHOULD TAKE ACTIVE PART IN POLITICS.
(Press Association.) AUCKLAND, June 12. Speaking at a Fanners’ Union social at Manger©' last night, Mr. Massey, Leader of the Opposition, said it was a mistake for tlio Farmore’ Union to refraim from taking fin active part‘ln politics when their interests were concerned. Only a few days ago a Cabinet Minister, speaking at Auckland, had declared publicly that the people of the country must choose between socialism anil ain.glo tax. It was time for farmers to assert themselves, aml^s ay most emphatically that they would have neither one nor the other. If the f armors did not keep on fighting they would keep on loosing until they were groaning beneath the burdens of single tux.
