SUBSIDY ON BUTTER
ALLOCATION OF COST INQUIRY CONCLUDED (P A.) WELLINGTON, Jan. 31. The commission of inquiry appointed by the Government to determine the dispute regarding the debiting of costs in connection with the holding down of the retail price of butter and cheese in New Zealand concluded its sitting yesterday. Mr. T. P. Cleary, for the Government, submitted that the dairy industiy had agreed that the cost of the allowances should be debited to the stabilisation account. It now appeared that the Dairy Board wished to set up flat defiance of the agreement. Mr G. G. G. Watson, for the New Zealand Dairy Board, said it was not seeking to amend anything which it had agreed to regarding the sale of butter overseas. What bargains they had made they would keep. The Chief Justice, Sir Michael M.veis, said the commission was grateful to counsel for the way in which they had endeavoured to sift out the difficulties of a complicated matter. Decision was reserved.
