DAIRY BOARD

OPPOSES REPORT On New Control Proposals (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Octooer 19. At a meeting of the Dairy Produce Board, consideration was given to the report which has just been brought down by the Dairy Industry Commission. The Board decided to confine its consideration to two main issues—those of the method of election of the new Board, and the constitution of the Council of Production and Trade. The members were unanimous in expressing the opinion that, in the meantime, this was as far as the Board should go, as they had not had sufficient time to study the many detailed recommendations of the report Most of the producer members of the Board expressed the opinion very definitely that neither the constitution of the new Board, nor the Commission’s recommendation of absolute control for the Council of Production and Trade would commend itself to the dairy industry. There was a general desire on the part of the Board that further time should be allowed for the consideration of the whole report. 'rhe following motion was carried with regard to the constitution of a new Board: “That the Dairy Board considers that the constitution of the new Dairy Board, as submitted by the report of the Dairy Commission, is unsatisfactory, and would not be acceptable to the industry.” The following motion with regard to the Council of Production and Trade was also carried: “That the Board expresses the opinion that the Council of Production and Trade submitted by the report of the Dairy Commission, is altogether unacceptable, as it entirely over-rides the powers of the Dairy Board.”
