MEAT IMPORT RESTRICTIONS
EMPIRE COUNCIL'S SCHEME GOVERNMENT ANXIOUS FOR SETTLEMENT Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, January 24. (Received January 25, at 1.30 p.m.) The Empire Meat Council has received communications from New Zealand and Australia which, it is considered, warrant a meeting on January 31 to reconsider the position. Officiali circles refuse to discuss the dominions’ opposition to the imposition of restrictions, but it is believed the meeting on January 31 will enable the Council to forward a scheme to the Board of Trade. The Government is anxious for a settlement before the assembly of Parliament. .
[A message received on January 19 stated: The Australian Associated Press says the Empire Beef Council has drafted a tentative scheme for the control of mutton and lamb imports, which has been submitted to the dominions with a request for their views regarding the scheme. The council has expressed its willingness to revise the plan if necessary before submitting it to the Board of Trade, and has also advised that restrictions are being imposed only when it is essential.]
