QUARANTINE FOR CATTLE
FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE PROTECTING DOMINIONS By Cable.—-Press Association. — Copyright , Reed. 11.15 a.m. LONDON, Wed. The Secretary of State for the Dominions, Mr. L. S. Amery, in opening a quarantine station, said that foot-and-mouth disease in Britain in 1922 had unfortunately broken the InterImperial chain of stud cattle export, but the establishment of quarantine would revive the opportunity of Importing the world’s best stud stock from Britain to build up the herds. The Earl of Stradbroke said some were disposed to regard Australia’s prohibition of imports, while foot-and-mouth disease was prevalent, as unduly harsh, hut he had travelled as far as 1,100 miles In Australia without seeing a fence. This showed the possibility of disastrous results if one infected beast got loose. The Dominions could rest assured that every precaution would be taken at the quarantine station. The quarantine was accommodating 46 animals at a cost of £6,350.—A. and N.Z.
