PRICE OF BUTTER
THE LICENSING OF FACTORIES,
Under the butter prices control scheme which the Government has establised 227 factories'have applied for licenses to export butter and cheese from New Zealand, and have therefore agreed with tho Government's requirements that they pay the levy of threefarthings per.lb. butter-fat. This agreement is presumably provisional, and if the Court, holds, in deciding the test case, that tho Government had no power to impose the levy, the agreements will be voided. Thcro aro in all about -100 dairy factories in the Dominion, but tho fact that all have not applied for licenses need not mean that all do not intend to apply. Some may be awaiting the result of the test case, and others may be uiiable to arrange meetings of directors to sanction the agreement with tho Government.
