PAYABLE ON EXPORT
PROVISION OF THE ACT.
A Press Association message to-day states : —"Speaking at a meeting of the Canterbury A. and P. Association today, Sir Francis Boys complained that the freezing companies had never been consulted a* to the manner in which tlie meat pool levy was to be collected. It was little wonder, he said, that the scheme was unbusinesslike."
A comment upon this statement by the Meat Producers' Board is as follows :—"Tho remark quoted above was ingenuous. The collection of the levy on meat .exported from New Zealand is provided for in the Meat Export Control Act, of which all managers of freezing companies and meat exporters have copies. The Act provides that 'all moneys payable under this section, in respect of any meat, shall be paid to the collector of Customs on or before tSe entry of that meat for export.' This should be sufficiently pla-in and businesslike for any exporter.' Undoubtedly the levy will be borne by producers,, and, so far as all meat (exported is concerned, will be willingly borne, but producers resent the attempt of buyers to collect the levy on meat used for local consumption." ■ ..-.■■. ■ . .
