BEEF FOR BRITAIN
LEVY PROPOSAL MADE COMMITTEE'S SUGGESTION LONDON, Nov. 29 A levy on imported beef, roughly equal to the deficiency on the payment necessary to ensure the home producer a fair price for his meat, was suggested to-day by the Standing Committee on Beef to the Council of Agriculture. The committee pointed out that the restriction of imports has not achieved a rise in prices, and expressed the opinion that tariffs are not practicable under existing agreements.
Further, tariffs would not be effective owing to large imports of Canadian live stock and Australian and New Zealand beef, which are duty free. Therefore, a levy would be the best alternative.
