BUTTER GLUT
REDUCED SHIPMENTS FOR SHORT PERIOD NEW ZEALAND PROPOSAL (By Telegraph—Preßß Association) WELLINGTON, This Day. With reference to the suggested restriction on butter imports into the United Kingdom, Mr Forbes said that the position had been further discussed with the members of the Dairy Board, who again emphasised as strongly as possible their definite view that any restriction on New Zealand butter would have a disastrous effect on the dairying industry. The board was of opinion that every endeavour should be made to avoid any policy of fixed quotas applicable to the output from New Zealand. “The Government, having regard especially to the existing local conditions, strongly concur with the board’s view,” stated Mr Forbes, “and the High Commissioner has been requested to do his utmost to prevent the adoption of the proposed restrictions, and as a basis for further negotiations, he has been advised to indicate that the Dominion is prepared to adopt some arrangement of reduced shipments for a short period on the condition that Australia reduces her shipments, and that the quantities of foreign butter are restricted also.” It is considered that an arrangement of this kind will ease the position, and have the effect desired by the Home authorities.
