LIFTED AT LAST
THE AUSTRALIAN POTATO EMBARGO • ADMISSION OF LIMITED IMPORTS. DECISION ANNOUNCED BY MR. LYONS. 3y Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. CANBERRA, March 9. The Prime Minister, Mr Lyons, announced today that the Government had decided to permit the importation of 250 tons of potatoes weekly from New Zealand for the next four weeks. He added that it was not proposed to permit unlimited importations but to so regulate the entry that Australian growers would receive adequate protection. He said that the Government had always been ready to protect the Australian potato grower who at times encountered serious difficulties, but in justice to consumers it must be agreed that the present acute shortage should be relieved.
