SUBSIDY ON SUGAR
Queensland Comment LARGE TOTAL QUOTED (Rec. December 10, 11.55 p.m.) London, December- 10. The fact that representatives of the British beet sugar industry have asked for additional Government assistance on next season’s crop is sharply commented upon in Queensland circles which point out that the subsidy on beet sugar has risen from £600,000 in 1924-25 to £4,229,000 in 1929-30, totalling more than £16,000,000 in that period. It is even stated that the subsidy on the beet sugar amounts to more than the value of the product. On the contrary, the annual value of the preferences on Australian sugar amount approximately to £600,000.
