CANADIAN CATTLE QUESTION.
■BRITISH MINISTER’S STATEMENT. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, May 30. Sir A. Griffith Boscawen, Minister o£ Agriculture, speaking at the Constitutional Club, said the Liberal and Conservative parties were strongly divided over the Canadian cattle question. Live stock breeding had become the sheet anchor of British agriculture, and Britain had become the stud farm of the world. It was the first duty of every Minister of Agriculture to protect this great industry. The embargo was not specially directed against Canada, but applied to all countries. The Dominion’s allegation that the embargo was a. stigma on Canada was without‘foundation. He was not going to be dictated to by any newspaper. If it was true that any pledge had been given to Canada he would -be prepared to honor it. He claimed that the removal of the embargo would be against the . interests of our own people.
