DAIRY INDUSTRY
EFFECT OF TARIFFS ON BRITISH PRODUCERS. FEAR OF DOMINION COMPETITION. (United Press Association—By CableCopyright.) (Received 29, 10.45 a.m.) London, Oct. 28. At a meeting of United Dairies Ltd., Mr. Maggs. chairman, said that the effect of the tariffs on dairy products had hitherto been negligible. The duties on butter had not influenced prices owing to the increase in world production, the operation of quotas in other importing countries and Empire supplies entering our market free or largely subsidised. “There appears to be a real danger that if New Zealand and Australia continue the present rate of increase in dairying for long, they will kill the Home manufacture of dairy produce as they have already practically destroyed the sheepfarming industry,” said Mr. Maggs.
