MEAT FROM DOMINION.
AGREEMENT WITH BRITAIN,
Per Press Association
WELLINGTON, Sept. 18. The exact terms of New Zealand’s meat agreement with Britain will not be released for some time, but the leader of the Dominion’s delegation to Ottawa (Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates) stated to-day that he would make a statement on the question at the civic reception in the Town Hall on Tuesday. Mr Coates was able to confirm the report that there would be no restriction on Now Zealand’s exports of mutton and lamb such as had been accepted by Australia, but he said that it was incorrect to say that in other respects tho New Zealand and Australian agreements were identical. In reply to a question, Mr Coates said he was unable to explain the full terms of tho New Zealand agreement at the moment, for the reason that Britain intended to negotiate with other countries whose exports of meat to Britain would be affected by the Ottawa agreements. Britain hoped to be able to make favourable trading agreements with her foreign suppliers, and in the meantime the terms of the Ottawa conclusions would not bo published.
