THE QUOTA THREAT
BRITAIN AND THE DOMINIONS 1 YORKSHIRE OBSERVER'S ' WARRING Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, April 6. (Received April 7, at 11.30 a.m.) The ‘Yorkshire Observer’ says: “It is curious that Conservative Imperialists are returning to Disraeli’s idea that the colonies are a millstone round the neck of the Mother Country. The quota threat has caused greatest distress in New Zealand. We have still to learn the true facts abdut her reported offer of a free market for British goods. Australia is preparing for the crisis by sending the Queensland Premier (Mr Forgan Smith) to discuss meat. South Australia is also opposed to restriction, but Mr Elliot emphasised that the dominions must submit to a quota like Argentine. If we seriously hamper dominion farming the repercussions will affect enormous British investments in the dominions, who will also not continue to welcome British manufactures.”
