ORIGIN OF MEAT.
BRITISH PROPOSAL, Compulsory Marking Rule Advocated. NEW ZEALAND OPPOSITION. (United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, January 2. The Ministry of Agriculture is hearing an application by the National Farmers' Union for compulsory marking to indicate the origin of imported meat. The New Zealand Meat Importers' Board, the Imported Meat -Traders' Association, and other organisations are opposing. The National Farmers' Union counsel said New Zealand importers suggested that the granting of the application would infringe the Ottawa agreements, and therefore it was peculiar that the Australian Commonwealth Government favoured the application if the proposal could be applied in a reasonable manner. He suggested that it would further the spirit of these agreements because it was the prevalent desire to purchase within the Empire in preference to buying from foreign countries. Produce people would be able to distinguish Australian from Argentine beef, and the plan woidd give Empire produce a gigantic advantage.
