N.Z. PRECAUTIONS
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. [Per Press Association]. MASTERTON, September 20. A decision that the Government should be requested to hold an open inquiry concerning the embargo on the importation of live stock direct from England, was made by the Wairarapa Provincial Executive of the Farmers’ Union to-day. Action in that direction was urged by Sir William Perry, who expressed the opinion that the proposed quarantine regulations were unworkable, and would be too costly. He maintained that there was no risk of foot and mouth disease being introduced. Precautions were now being observed by breeders and authorities in England. It was imperative that New Zealand should import new blood to improve the quality of stock and meet competition in the fat lamb and chilled beef trades. Several other speakers supported Sir William Perry, though some opposition to any removal of the restrictions was apparent. The motion was carried on the voices.
