IMPORTATION OF STOCK
STEPS TO PREVENT DISEASB BEING INTRODUCED (PMSS ASSOCIATION TELIMUM.I AUCKLAND, July 23. The steps taken by the Government to prevent' foot-and-mouth disease being introduced into New Zealand were explained ,by th« Minister for Agriculture (the Hon t C. E. Macmillan) in an address to farmers at Patumahoe^ The Minister said there was no embargo on the importation of stock, as some people believed. The position was that every step had to be taken to prevent disease reaching New Zealand. Many people had the idea that they could not buy in Britain a beast that they wariied. If cattle were bought in Britain they were subjected" to inspection by British veterinarians, and the spttle, on their arrival in New Zealand, had to be quarantined under regulations. The'food and straw for the animals on the voyage had to be supplied from either New Zealand or Canada. There, was no suggestion of easing the regulations, for it was necessary to take the greatest care, in view of the diseases that stock m some other countries had.
