MARKETING OF BUTTER
QUOTA DISCUSSION ENDED DELEGATION NOT ADVISABLE SUPPLIERS' RESPONSIBILITY [UY TF.LECRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION'] CHRISTCHURCH. Monday Referring to-day to the talk of a butter quota in Britain, the Prime Minister, Mr. Forbes, said there was no question of a limitation of imports being imposed by the British Govern- i ment. in the near future. The market I was open to New Zealand exporters, j and it was for them to do their best ; v.ith it. If any limitation were im- j posed, it would now have to be by the 1 suppliers themselves, and not by the British authorities. " So far as the Government knows," said Mr. Forbes, " there is no likelihood of the quota discussion being i reopened, and it would not be of the slightest use to send a Minister of the Crown or anyone else to London unless he had a definite proposal to make that would be likely to attract the Imperial Government, and especially the representatives of the milk industries in Britain." CANADIAN EXCHANGE DUTY DOMINION LITTLE AFFECTED [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] WELLINGTON, Monday " Our trade with Canada in butter is so small, and the prospects for increasing it are so small, that this newduty cannot make any material difference to New Zealand's butter industry," said the Prime Minister, Mr. Forbes, in commenting on the cablegram from Ottawa stating that an Order-in-Council has been passed imposing an exchange dumping duty on importations of New Zealand butter on and after January 26, 1934. Canada had simply done what had already been done in New Zealand, Mr. Forbes explained. The Government had power to put on an additional duty to meet the depreciated currency of any country from which it was receiving goods.
