AUSTRALIA ACTIVE
SEVERE COMPETITION FEARED
(Received 17th September, 9.50 a.m.)
SYDNEY, This Day. . Suggestions made by its London agency for improving organisation for marketing Australian butter in the United Kingdom •were fully, considered by the Australian Dairy Produce Export Board yesterday.
It was resolved that Messrs. T. Pluuket and. C. Jamieson (Queensland) should proceed to England and report upon recent developments concerning marketing, production and selling of Australian butter in pats direct to consumers, and exten-sion-of .the trade-in the Midland counties by the continuance or otherwise of advertising propaganda.
The board emphasised the probability of future severe competition of Danish butter selling1 in pats in the United Kingdom, and the certain curtailment of buying orders-as a result of the merging of large companies and pooling orders by grocers' associations.' ' The board'reduced'levies on the export tit butter to -one'thirtieth of a penny per 1b and one-sixtieth of a penny per lb on cheese.
The fund for advertising propaganda in London was greatly cut, owing to economic conditions.
.The quantity of butter held in cold stores in Australia as at 30th August was 1157 tons.
