POOR QUALITY.
AUSTRALIAN BUTTER. DIRTY FACTORIES BLAMED. Press Association —Copyright.) CANBERRA, April 30. "The Federal Ministry is gravely perturbed at the failure of the Australian dairying industry to improve the standard of its export butter,” the Acting-Prime Minister (Dr. Earle Page) declared. "Quality is now lower than it was several years ago. Danish butter is selling in Great Britain at Is 3d a lb, and! Australian is selling at only lOd.” DT. Page emphasised that improvement in quality and price would ■ add immediately to the income of the Australian dairying industry and would strengthen the overseas trade balance. Dr. Page anticipates that when the export control arrangements are being revised at the beginning of August the Commonwealth Government will have difficulty in standing up to its foreign competitors unless Australian supplies of export' butter are considerably improved in the meantime. The official reason for tlie poor average quality of Australian butter is dirty and inefficient methods of manufacture.
