AUSTRALIAN SUGAR
Move for Reduced Prices QUEENSLAND’S ATTITUDE ' Brisbane, July 28. At a conference called to discuss the sugar agreement, Senator McLachlan, on behalf of the Federal Government, appealed for a reduction in the domestic price of sugar. He said that the Commonwealth Government was in no sense hostile to .the Australian sugar industry. > The Premier, Mr. Forgan Smith, made it plain that so far as the Queensland Government was concerned as one party, to the contract, the agreement would stand. He said that it seemed extraordinary to him that whereas the Ottawa Conference was considering raising price levels, they should-be having a conference at which they were asked to reduce price levels. His Government took the view that an agreement which was entered into after a complete, exhaustive inquiry should be honoured by both Governments in its entirety, and the conditions of the industry., should not in any way be disturbed.
