BRITAIN'S POLICY TO DANISH TRADE
' LONDON, Dec. 12. Britain could not ignore the a*epercussions which would follow if she paid Denmark prices for agricultural produce entirely out of relation to those paid other suppliers such as the Dominions, said Mr. John Strachey, Minister of Food, in the House of Commons, in reply to a question. He said he was aware the Danes would like higher prices but he saw no reason for modification of the present price agreement. Britain bought agricultural produce at the lowest prices it could get throughout the world, Asked whether Denmark had given solid assurances that a large share of her markets would be available to British exporters, Mr. Strachey replied that the trouble was that Denmark at the moment was taking rather too much of British " exports. "They are running up a very large bill and we are rather anxious about payment," he added.
