OTTAWA DELEGATE mr. goodfellow denies giving views to newspaper n.z. butter proposals

-By Telegraph — Copyright).

CADGARY, (Alberta), Monday. Some concern was felt among the delegations after their arrival at Vaneouvar over the discovery of an article in a British Columbian newspaper, quoting the views of Mr. William Goodfellow, the representative of the New Zealand dairy industry on the Ofctawa plan to^ assist the butter trade indicating that New Zealand would seek a preference tariff and also quantitive restrictions upon foreign imports into Britain. Mr. Bruce made representations to

Mr. Coates, who ascertained that Mr. Goodfellow was adhering to the delegates' undertaking not to disclose the plants prematurely. H'e had not been inberviewed on disembarking in Victoria. The article apparently had been based on Mr. Goodfellow's speech to New Zealand dairymen in February, which does not represent the complete bvtter plan as subsequentiy prepared ar d discussed witll Australian experts. Mr. Coates to-day is contemplating telegraphing to Ottawa explaining the pcsition in oi'der to remove misap1pi ehensions. Mr. Bruce called the Australian delegation together and again warned them of the possible harmful consequ.enees of announcing defa'ls of their "eases for Ottawa" before they are discussed in the conf erence ; otherwise the Comrnonwealth hopes might be prejudiced.
