"FACING DISASTER."
Labour Paper Criticises Bacon
Marketing.
CHAOS IN INDUSTRY.
\ (Received 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, December 18
The "Daily Herald" (the Labour organ) says that disaster threatens the marketing' of "bacon pigs by the Bacon Board, which commenced work in the middle of 1933.
Whereas import quotas were imposed in 1932 to protect the home industry, which remains in a condition of individualistic disorder, retail prices have risen about 40 per cent, forcing some consumers to cease buying.
Britain now pays £40,000,000 for 7,750,000cwt of Danish bacon, whereas the same amount purchased 11,391,OOOcwt in 1932.
This fantastic foolishness masquerades under the name of agricultural planning.
