DECISION PRAISED.
RETENTION OF RESTRICTIONS. IMPORTATIONS OF STOCK. The decision of the Government to retain the restrictions on the importation of stock from countries where foot-and-mouth diesase has broken out from time to time, was praised by speakers at the meeting of the MidCanterbury Provincial Executive of the Farmers’ Union yesterday afternoon. Mr A. P. Bruce said that a number of persons had been advocating the lifting of the embargo. He expected that their advocacy of the lifting of the embargo would die down for a while as a result of the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in England on November 5. Ho considered it would be very foolish to interfere with the embargo. A traveller had said that stock had not been imported into Jersey for 150 years, and he did not see why New Zealand could not do the same. Mr Bruce quoted from an article which set out the difficulties encountered in stopping the spread of the disease by coyotes and squirrels in America.
