BUTTER PROFITS.
THE QUESTION OF DISTRIBUTION. (From Our Own Correspondent.)' Wellington, July IT. Representatives of the butter producers are to meet the Minister in charge of Imperial Supplies (Hon. D. 11. Guthrie) on Tuesday to discuss with him tlie distribution of profits made on the. sale of requisitioned butter in England. The discussion vilJ be of considerable importance, for the butter men are raising the questions that were connected with t!ia old butter levy and are asking for payment on a cheese parity. It seems clear that in order to do justice to all the interests concerned, including supplier-! to the local market, there will have to be an equalisation scheme of some kind. The butter levy was an attempt at an equalisation scheme, and it met with the whole-heart-ed condemnation of the men associated with the dairying .industry. There win hi no reimposition of this levy on export butter, cheese and dried milk. Such an arrangement might not differ much in principle from the old butter levy. But men in the industry consider that it would be less offensive to the producer.
