Protection Sought
(N.ZPA.-Reuter—Copyright) MELBOURNE, Nov. 11. Government protection would be sought against imports of New Zealand butter, retailing at 2s 6d per lb. the secretary of the Victorian Dairy Farmers’ Association (Mr K. W. Thome) said yesterday. Mr Thome was commenting on a statement from Auckland that dairy farmers there were preparing to enter the Australian market. Australian chain stores were ready to sell their butter, the New Zealanders claimed.
