LIVE-STOCK EMBARGO
BREEDERS SEEK REMOVAL [From Our Parliamentary Reporter.] WELLINGTON, July 26. The removal of the embargo against the direct importation of live stock from Great Britain is sought in a petition from the Royal Agricultural Society of New Zealand and 12 breeders’ organisations, presented in the House of Representatives to-day by Mr H. S. S. Kyle (National, Riccarton). The petitioners state that the precautions taken ' y the British Government during tha last nine years to prevent any diseased animals entering the London quarantine station or from being shipped overseas have proved absolutely satisfactory to 15 importing countries, colonies,' and Dominions. They say that New Zealand has imported live stock from Great Britain for more than 60 years, without introducing foot-and-mouth disease, pleuropneumonia, or rinderpest, and submit that the British precautions are sufficient to make unnecessary the heavy expense of importing stock via Australia, Tasmania, and Canada.
