IMPORTED BEEF
BRITAIN PROPOSES LEVY ENSURING HOME PRODUCER A FAIR PRICE press Association— By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, November 29. (Received November 30, at 10 a.m.) A lew on imported beef roughly equal to the deficiency in 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 restriction of imports has not achieved a rise in prices, and expresses the opinion that tariffs are impracticable under the existing agreements, and would not be effective owing to the large imports of Canadian livestock and Australian and New Zealand beef, which is duty-free; therefore a levy is the best alternative.
