THE BUTTER SCHEME
APPLICATIONS FOR LICENSES TO EXPORT. A considorablo number of applications aro being received by Mr. Triggs, acting for tho Government, for. licenses to export butter and cheese. In these applications the factory owners have to givo an undertaking that they will pay to tho Government tho prescribed levies at tho present into of Jd. per lb. "I am perfectly cortain, said the Hon. W. D. S. Mac Donald yesterday, "that when the factory owners and suppliers come to understand the system thoroughly all opposition to it will disappear. I regret to say that a great many people who ought to understand it do not seem to .understand it yet. Somo of thorn seem to think that Alloy are called upon to forfeit tho difference betweon tho f.o.b. price and tjiij local wholesale price, but of course that is not so. The difference betweon those prices is nowv3d. a pound, but the most that any producer will have to pay under our scheme is ijd. a pound. I fed sure that after a month or so of working, whon the suppliers find out what they aro' receiving—the highest price they havo over got for their butter-fat—they will raise no more opposition."
