TOWN MILK TRADE
PROBLEM OF ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, July 30. Until the town milk industry could carry on without subsidies, it would never be looked upon as being on a sound footing, said the> chairman of the newly-constituted Central MiiK Council (Mr W. B. Tennent, M.P.). at the Dominion conference of the Town Milk Producers’ Federation to-day. Mr Tennent said that the ideal target for the industry was to carry on without subsidies, and still be able to function to the satisfaction of all. ‘I don’t know when that will happen, he said. Substantial subsidies had been paid by the Government Mr Tennent said. Trie powers of the Central Milk Council had been widened to cover prices and margins, but while the Government continued to pay subsidies, it held the overriding authority on these questions. Of the many problems to be solved, the major one was to provide the best milk supply for consumers at a reasonable price and to satisfaction of producers, Mr Tennent said. This would not be an easy task.
