MEAT FOR BRITAIN
LEVY PLAN REJECTED IMPORT CUTS NOW SOUGHT LONDON", Sept. 13 The Evening Standard says the Meat Reorganisation Commission has rejected a proposal for a penny in tho pound levy on all imports of meat, which would yield £9,000,000 a year, with which to ensure to British farmers a guaranteed price of 48s a cwt on cattle and 56s on sheep. Tho reason for the rejection was that tho plan would conflict with the Ottawa agreements. The Farmers' Union now has asked the Ministry to impose an immediate cut of 55 per cent on imports in order to save the livestock industry.
