Butter marketing
Sir,—The Christchurch-based marketing adviser is urging New Zealand to cut its export prices for butter to create maximum disruption to the subsidy schemes of competitors (“The Press,” March 2). He also expressed the belief that if the E.E.C. and the United States retaliated it would cause chaos in their own subsidy support schemes so that they would eventuality disintegrate, and at the very least the stockpiles would disappear. As simple as that? So what is the Dairy Board waiting for? The Prime Minister is on its side and would no doubt be only too ready to prime the supplementary pricing scheme pump with the necessary millions from the consolidated fund. After all, it is election year. But would not such an action tend to jeopardise Sir Robert Muldoon’s eminence as a world statesman among the major Western powers? And what would be the reactions of the world’s money-lenders whose dollars help to prop up our flagging economy?—Yours, etc.,
LES BOGREN. March 3, 1984.
