TOO MANY QUOTA CHANGES
ANNOYANCE TO DOMINIONS MR. BALDWIN’S VIEWS (Received 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 21. Mr. Baldwin, addressing a National Government demonstration at Halstead, claimed that wheat had been the most successful of the tariff experiments made. Wheat growing, which was modestly remunerative, had increased in acreage and had supplied a loaf only a fraction dearer than if the tariff had not been ' introduced. He emphasised, regarding beef, that the Government wanted to eliminate, as far as possible, perpetual alterations in quotas, causing only frictions with the Dominions, “those who should be our best trade friends.” Britain has been extraordinarily successful in the manner in which the mutton and lamb quotas and restrictions had been handled, probably because of the fewer markets affected and probably because those interested had' adhered to the quotas better. Nevertheless, mutton prices had been raised in three years from 7£d to lOgd per lb without an appreciable difference in consumption.
