BEEF FOR BRITAIN
A LEVY SUGGESTED. PROTECTING HOME PRODUCER. IMPORT RESTRICTION INEFFECTIVE. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received November 30, 9.10 a.m. LONDON, Nov. 29. A levy on imported beef roughly equal to the deficiency in payment necessary to ensure the home producer of a fair price for his meat is suggested by the standing committee on beef to the Council of Agriculture. The committee points out that the restriction of imports has not- achieved a rise in prices and expresses the opinion that tariffs arc impracticable under the existing agreements and would not be effective owing to the large imports of Canadian live stock and Australian and New Zealand beef, which is duty free. ’ Therefore, the levy is the best alternative.
