EMBARGO ON POTATOES
Effect on Fish and Chips Trade SYDNEY DEPUTATION Sydney, January 17. A new plea for the removal of the embargo on the, importation of New Zealand potatoes into Australia was made to the Federal Minister of Health, Mr. W. M. Hughes, by a deputation representing the Master Fishmongers’ Association, which complained that because of the embargo the business in fish and chips had become unprofitable. Mr. Hughes, replying, said that it appeared that he was being asked to sacrifice potato growers for the sake of the jshmongers. “Potato growers,” he said, “have to get a decent price for their potatoes, but I do know that tons of fish are being dumped into the sea to keep the price of fish up here. The man on the land has to pay for land to produce his potatoes, but the fisherman does not have to pay for the sea that produces the fish.”
