to be adopted ; but the Committee can see their way to materially 

 improve the present position in several directions : 



(a) By putting forward absolutely independent agricul- 

 culturists, standing as third candidates if necessary, and, 

 though giving a general statement on current politics, making 

 agriculture the paramount question. 



(6) By approaching the " Party " organisations of both 

 political parties with a view of selecting or approving candi- 

 dates that will be acceptable to the parties. 



(c) By local influence in each constituency, so that proper 

 candidates are adopted by the executive of each " Party " 

 organisation. 



(d) By taking part in elections in agricultural constituencies 

 and by questioning candidates on agricultural matters. 



(e) By constant and active work among members of the 

 House of Commons.
