The situation a present has resulted in a deadlock. The Government asks for a fee of £150,000, insists on the progressive hut rapid abolition of the running of English, Arab and other foreign horses, the exclusion of all foreign jockeys, and the inclusion of Government appointees to club’s stewards and committee.
