Protest Against Meat Quota
[Per Press Association. Copyright. 1 HASTINGS, This Day. “The value of old ewes . will be greatly reduced as a result of the British quota,” said Mr Lloyd Hammond, Southern Hawke’s Bay representative on the executive of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union yesterday. “The quota will cause a glut on the market, and the man with these sheep will need protection.”
Mr Hammond said he believed some measure of control would be necessary, and that a levy was desirable in order to compensate owners of old ewes. Control by the Meat Board, rather than the State was preferred. The meeting discussed a proposal to send a representative to Britain to meet British farmers and the Board of Trade to present New Zealand’s case. A resolution was passed appi’oving the principle of sending Home a representative.
