AUTHORITY GRANTED.
FOR IMPORTS OF POLLARD.
KEEPIXG PRICE MARGINS DOWN,
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.; WELLINGTON, this day. Authority lias been granted the Wheat Committee to import supplies of pollard for the assistance of tha poultry industry and to build up stocks for emergency purposes. This announcement was made by the Minister of Industries and Commerce, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, to-day. The Minister said the decision had been reached after consultation with the Wheat Committee and consideration of the findings of the Price Investigation Tribunal on prices of Australian bran and pollard. The tribunal had found that in certaia instances in the past merchants' margins were on the high side, but since the inquiry had been held there had been a modification in prices. Both the tribunal and the Wheat Committee will closely watch the position and see that the margins are maintained at a reasonable level. The fact that the Wheat Committee was making purchases from time to time would tend to keep the margins as low as possible, in addition to helping the supply position.
