REDUCTION SOUGHT.
TARIFF ON PIG AND POULTRY FEED.
Arising out of a suggestion by Mr M. A. Eliott, the Manawatu A. andP. Association decided this morning to support Hon. E. Newman in his endeavours to secure a reduction of the tariff on food for pigs and poultry imported into New Zealand. Such a reduction, stated Mr Eliott, was urgently needed. “Why should the wheat-growers of Canterbury be protected and subsidised out of the Consolidated Fund?” asked Mr J. M. Johnston. “The dairy farmer who is harder hit doesn’t get a subsidy.”
Mr M. A. Conway closed tho discussion by observing that grain was at a prohibitive price for fattening pigs and poultry because of the tariff.
