“DOMINIONS EXCEEDING QUOTAS”
BRITISH BEEF PRODUCERS COMPLAIN [United Press Association.-By Electric Telegraph. — Copyright .3 (Received 10 a.m.) LONDON, January 7. “The British beef producing industry is only just being kept in existence by the subsidy,” declares the annual report of the National Farmers’ Union. “There is an impression that the countries from which Britain imports, especially the Dominions, ten£ heavily to exceed the agreed quantities, with the result that when fresh arrangements are made these higher figures are taken as a basis for future restrictions.
“It is the view of the union that no agreements will be satisfactory until they are rigidly enforced and excess quantities are refused admission.” The “Daily Mail” states that imports, instead of . being reduced under the quota scheme, increased in the first 10 months of 1935 to 11,625,000 cwt, from 11,107,000'.cwt in 1933. It urges the Government to have a straight tariff ready for introduction the moment the agreements expire.
