MEAT PROBLEM.
Limitation of Cattle Imports From Ireland. SERIOUS BLOW TO IRELAND. LONDON, December 21. Replying to a question in the House of Commons the Minister of Agriculture, Mr. W. E. Elliot, said : "I make no suggestion for the limitation of meat supplies from Australia and New Zealand, which afford large supplies at very reasonable prices." The question followed a long statement by the Minister on the live stock situation, and the Government's decision to limit the importation of fat cattle from the Irish Free State to 50 per cent for three months ending March 31, as compared with the corresponding period of last year. A message from Dublin says that Free State cattle exporters describe Mr. W. E. Elliot'B announcement as a staggering blow. It is going to have enormous repercussions. It means the ruination of the Irish cattle trade. Farmers will be almost put out of business. Dr. Ryan, the Minister of Agriculture, refused to make a statement.
