MEAT DEADLOCK

DIVERSE OPINIONS

BRITAIN AND AUSTRALIA

(Received May 11, 2.15 p.m.) LONDON, May 10.

The meeting of Australian Ministers regarding the meat question considered the latest suggestion from the British Government, which, while indicating no substantial change in its attitude, at least provides scope- for anothe^ Anglo-Australian Ministerial Conference, which, it is. expected, will be held on Monday, when, unless noteworthy progress is achieved, the hopes of any large-scale agreement must dissolve.

■ The "Sun-Herald" learns that the Commonwealth delegation sent a strong letter to the British Government in connection with the meat deadlock. The letter, which is a reply to the British proposals of May 3, says, in effect, that no useful purpose would be served by continuing the discussions. It,is understood that the British attitude makes agreement impossible. The British Government wants a combination of levy and restriction, while the Commonwealth continues resolutely to oppose any form of restriction.
