EMBARGO ON STOCK.
ARGUMENT AGAINST IT. NO FEAR OF DISEASE. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON,' Friday. An argument that there was no case for an embargo on the importation of live stock from Great Britain was advanced by Colonel H. A. Reid, formerly in charge of the Wallaceville veterinary laboratory, when addressing the Makara-Hutt Vailey branch of the New Zealand Farmers' Union to-day. "My own important farming interests in New Zealand would restrain me from advocating its removal had I the least fear of the introduction of disease," lie said, "but I have very grave featfs for the future prosperity of the country if it is allowed to go on, based not only upon fears regarding the deterioration of our stock, and hence our produce, but also upon our commercial relations with Great Britain which the embargo threatens." Mr. W. J. Poison, M.P., president of the New Zealand Farmers' Union, said he entirely agreed that the embargo on stock was a mistake, and should be removed r.t the earliest opportunity.
