Britain’s “Beef Muddle” From Policy Conflict
(N.ZPA.-Reuter— Copyright)
LONDON, March 26. “The beef muddle is the most glaring example yet of what happens when there is an organised policy at home and none tor imports.” said Mr Harold Woolley, president of the National Farmers’ Union, who will soon -visit New Zealand. The high imports of Argentine and Jugoslav beef aa;e causing such deep concern that Sir Cyril Osborne, Conservative member of Parliament tor a farming constituency. is visiting the Ministry of Agriculture to put forward the farmers’ case on beef prices. One estimate is that the fall in prices will cost the Government about £1 million a week in subsidies until May. The prices in shops have fallen, and it is reported that butchers so far seem to have passed the re-
duction on to their customers. From Buenos Aires, “The Times” correspondent reports the Argentine Government believes that self-discipline by exporters, rather than the application of restrictive measures, is the best way to halt excessive shipments of beef to Britain.
