Mr. Forbes mentioned that, in addition to the Dairy Board’s proposals, (he Government had several recommendations to consider from (lie conference held last month of those connected with the dairying industry. No decision of any sort had yet been reached. “Now that we have the recommendations of the Board and of the conference,” said Mr. Forbes, “we have all of the recommendations from the industry, and we can go ahead and consider the whole question.” When invited to comment on a report that the Government is of the opinion that the industry would be better served by a small Commission comprising men with business experience, taking the place of the Dairy Board, or at least acting in a consultative capacity to the Board, Mr. Forbes said that no such proposal had been carried by the Government.
