TO BENEFIT WORKERS.
BRITISH CATTLE SUBSIDY.
(Received 1.30 p.m.)
LONDON, July 19,
In the House of Commons Mr. Walter Elliot, Minister of Agriculture, defending the proposed extension of the cattle subsidy, declared that the fall of food prices since 1925 was equivalent to £230,000,000 a year, benefiting the working class almost exclusively. He urged using a proportion of this sum to maintain farm wages and produce home foodstuffs.
The bill was read a second time by 148 to 34 votes.
