SUGAR CONFERENCE
BRITAIN ANXIOUS TO ASSIST Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, March 5. (Received March 6, at 1.55 p.ra.) Presiding at the Sugar Conference, the Earl of Plymouth said that Britain was anxious to assist in the scheme to regulate the world’s sugar production* She preferred a solution of such problems in the form of a general international agreement to isolated action by individual countries. The consumption of sugar in recent years had tended to decline. They could not ignore the strong reasons of national policy which had led many countries into a policy of State encouragement of sugar production. Australia and South Africa were not represented, as the conveners of the conference were satisfied with the explanations given at the World Economic Conference,^ hut they would doubtless be included in the fuller conference envisaged later.
