FARMERS CONFER

AGAINST A QUOTA. (Per Press Association —Copyright). WELLINGTON, July 13. A quota cablegram by the press was read to-day at.the Framers’ Union Conference, which passed a.resolution that the Conference vigorously opposes any governmental step in the direction of curtailing or restricting the export of primary produce by way of a quota or otherwise, considering any action in this direction inimical to the best interests of the Dominion; that a free and unrestricted entry of our products into the British market is so vital to the prosperity of the Dominion that negotiations should be entered into with the British Government to ascertain on what terms this privilege could be secured, and what concession should be made with a view to obtaining it. and suggests ’that in order to obviate any suggestion of quotas on our primary products, we should endeavour by every means to develop free trade with the Homeland.

A committee was apointed to cable to Hon. G. W. Forbes setting out the farmers’ viewpoint.

A remit in favour of the Government conducting State lotteries for the upkeep of hospital, and charitable, aid boards, was lost.
