AGITATION FOR REMOVAL
AUSTRALIAN POTATO BAN DISCUSSION BY CABINET? (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyrig-bt) SYDNEY, Feb. 21 The agitation for the removal of the embargo on New Zealand potatoes grows stronger daily. Advice was received from Canberra last night to the effect that certain Ministers are likely to raise the matter at a meeting of the Federal Cabinet, which will be held at Sydney shortly.
Ministers, while not anxious to embarrass the Prime Minister, whose Tasmanian constituency supplies most of the mainland with potato requirements, feel that they can no longer withstand the pressure from Government supporters, who are clamouring for relief from the famine prices which consumers in eastern States are compelled to pay for Tasmanian potatoes.
