BRITISH QUOTA POLICY.
NEW ZEALAND FARMERS’ REACTION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Thursday. The quota cablegram received by the Press, was read to-day at the Farmers’ Union conference, which passed the following resolution: — “The Conference vigorously opposes any Government step in the direction of curtailing or restricting the export of primary produce hy way of a quota or otherwise, considering any action in this direction inimical to the hest interests of the Dominion. “That free and unrestricted entry of our products into the British market is so vital to the prosperity of the Dominion that negotiations should be entered into with the British Government to ascertain on what terms this privilege could be secured and what concession should be made, with a view to obtaining it. “This Conference suggests that, dn order to obviate any suggestion of quotas on our primary products, we should endeavour by every means to develop Free Trade with the Homeland.” A committee was appointed to cable to Mr Forbes setting out the farmers’ viewpoint.
