A levy on imported beef, roughly equal to the deficiency of a. payment necessary to ensure.the home producer a fair price for his meat, is suggested by the Standing Committee - on- Beef to the Council of Agriculture. The committee points out. that. the restriction of imports has not achieved a rise in prices, and considers that tariff saare not practicable under existing agreements and would not be effective, owing to the largo imports of Canadian live stock and Australian and New Zealand beef, which is duty free. Therefore a levy.is the best alternative.
