QUOTAS EXCEEDED
IMPORTS FROM DOMINIONS. CHARGE BY FARMERS’ UNION. CLAIMS FOR BRITISH INDUSTRY. (United Press Association—Copyright.) LONDON, January 7. “The British beef-producing industry is only just kept in existence by the subsidy,” declares the annual report of the National Farmers’ Union. “There is an impression that countries from which Britain imports, especially the Dominions, tend to exceed the agreed quantities heavily, with the result that when fresh arrangements are made these higher figures are taken as the basis of future restrictions.” It is the yiew of the union that no agreements will be satisfactory until they are rigidly enforced, and excess quantities refused admission. The “Daily Mail,” in a leading article, says imports, instead of being reduced under the quota scheme, increased in the first ten months of 1935 to 11,625ewt from 11,107,000 cwt in 1933. It urges the Government to have a straight tariff ready for introduction the moment the agreements expire.
