NEW BEEF POLICY
REPORTED FOR BRITAIN. , SUBSIDY REPLACING QUOTA. REQUEST FOR A VOTE. (United Press Association—By Electrie Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, June, 18. The Daily Herald says that the Ministry of Agriculture is preparing to ask Parliament to vote £5,000,000 as a subsidy to beef-producing farmers. Mr W. E. Elhot (Minister of Agriculture) is abandoning all idea of restricting imports, and will pay the difference between the depreciated prices which farmers are obtaining and the economic scale. The Daily Telegraph says that Whitehall is regretfully again discussing the Dominions’ refusal at Ottawa to establish a central Empire consultative body to meet the situation arising- from the Dominions’ refusal to restrict beef exports. It is now suggested that an impartial survey of the Empire’s agricultural and industrial potentialities, including Britain, might yield valuable conclusions. It is learned that consultations on the subject of export regulations should begin forthwith between Mr S. M. Bruce (Australian High Commissioner) Sir James Parr '(New Zealand High Commissioner), and the Premier of Queensland (Mr Forgan Smith).
