MEAT NEGOTIATIONS

PROSPECTS OF AGREEMENT REMOTE AUSTRALIA OPPOSED TO RESTRICTION Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, May 10. (Received May 11, at 10 a.m.) The ‘ Sun-Herald ’ service learns that the Commonwealth delegation sent a strong letter to the British Government in connection with the meat deadlock. The letter, which was in reply to the British proposals of May 3, said in effect that no useful purpose could be served by continuing the discussions. It is understood that the British attitude makes an agreement impossible. The British authorities want a combination of levy and restriction. The Commonwealth continues resolutely to oppose any form of restriction. BRITAIN MAKES NEW SUGGESTION ANOTHER CONFERENCE ON MONDAY. LONDON, May 10. (Received May 11, at 10.25 a.m.) A meeting of Australian Ministers regarding meat considered the latest suggestion from the British Government, which, while indicating no substantial change in its attitude, at least provides scope for another Anglo-Aus-tralian Ministerial conference, which is expected to be held on Monday, when, unless noteworthy progress is achieved, hopes of any large scale agreement must dissolve.
