IMPORT EMBARGO
' / N.Z. AND BRITISH CATTLE “IGNORANTLY PLACED ON.” LORD BLEDISLOE’S ASSERTION. Wnited Press Assoeiation.-By Electric Telegraph. — Copyright .] (Received 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, October 23. At a meeting of the British Dairy Farmers’ Association, Viscount Bledisloe, ex-Governor-General of New Zealand, urged breed societies to have some control over the price of dairy cattle exported to the Dominions. He made the suggestion, because in the two antipodean countries, with which he had become very familiar in recent years, there were a great many dairy, or so-called dairy animals, which were not the best advertisement for English breeds. The embargo, which, he regretted to say. New Zealand had unfortunately and ignorantly placed on the import of British pedigree stock, was largely due to the unfounded assumption that “they have plenty of foundation stock and can maintain their own supplies without looking to the Old Country for new blood.”
