Importation of Live Stock
Sir,—May I appeal to the sound common sense and logic which I am sure is inherent in most of the farmers of New Zealand, yjid ask them to look at this question of the quarantine embargo from that point of view? This will be my last letter on the subject, and I want to point out that foot-and-mouth disease has existed in Britain off and on as long as I can remember. Up till comparatively recently the quarantine regulations have been the period, of the voyage out plus six weeks at this end. Under those conditions the disease never came here. ...
Now, under direct importation restriction 14 days in a quarantine station at London would be added to this. In all fairness, what more do we want? Can I ask anything more reasonable than that those who are still opposed to direct importation should state their case before the Minister and departmental officers? — I am, etc., G. F. MOORE. Busliv Park. June 7.
