BRITAIN HOT TAKING QUOTA POSITION TO BE EXAMINED. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, November 24. (Received November 25, at 1.30 a.m.) Air Harold Briggs, ALP., addressing unionist agriculturists, called attention to the failure of the Government to take up its quota of phosphates from Nauru and Ocean Islands. No phosphates had been shipped to Britain tor six years. New Zealand and Australia were not only taking their own percentages, but Australia was receiving the bulk of Britain’s. There was no reason why phosphates should not be 40s a ton here, instead of 565. The committee was impressed, and apappointed a sub-committee to examine the position. •
