HON. P. FRASER’S RELIEF. APPROVAL BY DAIRYMEN. Per Press Association. AVELLINGTON, July 31. “Hon. A. Hamilton’s bail-tempered little outburst, while it does not do credit to his imagination, must have been a severe strain upon it and betrays no evidence of n sense of humour,” said Hon. P. Fraser, in a statement to-day. He said:, “Tf Mr Hamilton imagines that the Government or the country is likely to mistake tho utterances of hardened, veto, ran, nnti-Labnur, pro-Nationalist speakers at the Farmers’ Union conference for the voice of the dairy farmers of the Dominion, tho sooner he recovers from that delusion the hotter. The evidence that tho Government’s guaranteed price policy is supported by the great majority of the farmers concerned is overwhelmingly conclusive. _ That is natural, because guaranteed prices, plus a readjustment of farm finance, have brought them security and a sense of future safety.” He had nothing to say of the remainder of Mr Hamilton’s statement. “It’s own absurdity is its own complete answer,” he said. Mr Hamilton’s statement appears on page 11.
