EXPORTS TO CEASE
AUSTRALIAN IRON ORE PROHIBITION IMPENDING (Received May 19, 8.55 p.m.) CANBERRA, May 19 The Prime Minister, Mr. J. A. Lyons, stated in the House of Representatives to-dav that the Government intended to prohibit the export of Australian iron ore as from July 1. Claims for reimbursement of expenditure already incurred on the exploitation of iron ore for export would be examined and dealt with equitably.
The Government had acted on an expert report to the effect that the accessible iron ore deposits capable of economic development were so limited as to compel the Government to retain them for Australia's own industrial needs.
