LIVESTOCK IMPORTATION EMBARGO
FARMERS DECIDE AGAINST LIFTING IPer Press Association. — Covvright.} WELLINGTON, This Day. After a keen debate the Dominion conference of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union carried an Auckland remit declaring against the lifting of the embargo on the direct importation of livestock from any country known to be infected with foot and mouth disease.
Mr W. J. Poison, M.P., the retiring president, read letters from the Royal Agricultural Society, England, stating that there was no logical reason for the continuation of the embargo, and also from the National Farmers’ Union, England, stating that the embargo should be lifted. An amendment, moved by Mr L. Hammond, of Marton, that, the embargo should be further increased, and that in order to do so, the regulations brought down by the late Minister of Agriculture should be adopted, was defeated, and the remit adopted by 28 votes to 18.
