NQ RESTRICTION
MR., FORBES HOPEFUL
DISCOURAGING POSITION
'A»_brief reference to the proposed restriction on butter exports was made Lythe'Prime Minister (tho Et. Hon. p. "W. Forbes).in Auckland." "The primary industries are having a very difficult time,"-said the Prime Minister. "Suggestions of .restrictions upon our butter 'in Britain are in the air, and they are very disturbing.' They are only suggestions," of course ; there .are.no definite proposals. The view in the Old Country is that something must be ( done to rescuo the market from tho position it has got'into, which is a serious matter forjhe producers. ' \ •"I hope.that there will be no restriction' Upon our products," Mr. Forbes continued. ' "The British Government has to look to the interests of its own farmers,' who are in a parlous jondition owing-to ths low prices of their pro•duets., .They have 'brought their troubles beforo the Government, and 1 think they are at-the back of the suggestion. I hope we shall'get'through without any restriction, but the" position ii very discouraging. This country has made great effort for years to increase its, production, with very satisfactory results, and tho future along those lines has been very promising.''
