BUTTER EXPORTS
RESTRICTIONS OPPOSED
TARANAKI FARMERS MEET
(Per Pnss Association - Copyright.)
STRATFORD, May 22
A large meeting of Taranaki dairy farmers unanimously expressed opposition to quotas and restrictions oil dairy exports, and supported a free markets’ policy. Air W. J. Poison, AI.P., said that quotas were a colossal blunder. He contended that the Ottawa agreement made no mention of quotas, and despite the statement of the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates that the British Government imposed frozen meat quotas to assist Australia and South Africa, the restriction of butter supplies would increase the tendency to create substitutes, thus decreasing the demand of Now Zealand produce. The following resolutions were carried :
“(a) This meeting supports the policy of free markets, and urges New Zealand-to offer Great Britain definite opportunities of reciprocal advantages of New Zealand markets in exchange for the advantages of free markets in Britain.”
“(b) That the opinion of this meeting of Taranaki dairy farmers be conveyed to the Government, with a request that nothing he done by our representatives attending the London conference to prejudice the position regarding 'free markets.”
