REDUCED MEAT EXPORTS
THE MARKET IN BRITAIN. A DISQUIETING POSITION. A rather disquieting position had been created by the decision of the United Kingdom Government to restrict mutton and lamb imports from New Zealand by 3 per cent., said the Hon. J. E. Duncan (Auckland), seconder of the Address-in-Reply motion in the Legislative Council on Wednesday. He believed, however, that this could be overcome If the standard of living of the people of England and their puixhasing' power were raised. It was essential to the economic life of the Dominion that it should maintain its markets for its produce, he said. The British restrictions might have an adverse effect.
It was regrettable that the population of Britain, after the marked increase during the 19th century, was now static, and economists believed that it would slowly decline, he continued. This position must be viewed with alarm by New Zealand.
