BUTTER EXPORTS
AUSTRALIAN OPTIMIST. [BY CABLE PRESS ASSN. COPYBIGHT.] (Recd. May 12, 10 a.m.) MELBOURNE, May 12. Mr H. W. Osborne, of the Australian Dairy Export Board, urges producers to disregard the utterances of those who talk a policy of despair. He declared that assuming the butter restriction plan was adopted on the basis suggested by the British Government, namely six per cent, for
the Dominions, and 12 per cent, for foreign, the total importations into Britain would be reduced by 38,906 tons, comprising 14,327 from Empire and 24,579 from foreign countries. The aggregate imports would, he believed, be disposed of at much better prices than obtainable under the unrestricted conditions with glutted markets. He emphasised that there was no need to restrict production, and suggested that second grade and pastry should be withheld from export and sold locally to bakers and confectioners, in competition with margarine, or it might be sold to foreign markets at reduced prices. He was convinced that the regulation of exports would place the dairying industry on a payable basis.
Mr Osborne represented the dairying industry at Ottawa.
