BUTTER CONTROL
FUTURE MARKETING
AUSTRALIAN POSITION
SYDNEY, August 6.
Discussing the future marketing of butter arising out of the Privy Council's decision in the dried fruits case, a leading producer and exporter, Mr. R. C. Gibson, at Lismore, said it was doubtful whether in a referendum the people would be prepared to give the Federal Government the powers which the Privy Council held that it did not at present possess.
It was likely, however, f that an effort would be made at the next Premiers* conference to delegate control of the butter industry to the Common wealth. A unanimous, decision was necessary, and he; doubted whether the States as a whole woulH agree;
Mr. Gibson pointed out that the New Zealand scheme would not give local dairymen returns greater than those, at present being received by dairyfarmers in Australia. The value of the New Zealand scheme rested not sp much on higher prices as on the fact that dairymen knew in advance what they would get for their product. They had become-in effect servants of. the Government.
