ANGLO-ARGENTINE BEEF AGREEMENT.
In tlie report of the chairman's address at the anuual meeting of shareholders in .the National Bank of New Zealand published to-day there are a few lines that are of special interest to Dominion beef-growers. lhese tell us that, as far back as December las^ an agreement was entered into between the British and Argentine Governments which "not only imposes a duty of £d a lb. on chilled beef and 2-3d on frozeu beef from the Argentine, but also provides for the restriction of foreign imports i'or the nest three years, on the basis of the 1935 figures reduced by a total of 5 per cent. o\er that period. The Dominions," the chairman went on, "are now allowed to ship inereasing quantities of chilled beef, and their impopts remain free of any duty." So far as we have seen him reported our Minister of Marketing, the Hon. W .Nash, has made no public reference to this Argentine agreemen^ which must have been practically arranged befoie he zeached the Old Country and which can scarcely but have made eatier his negotiations regarding the admission of New Zea r land beef to the British market.
