DAIRY PRODUCE CONTROL

THE NEW BILL. SOME AMENDMENTS. (From Our Own Correspondent.! WELLINGTON, July 4. The main alterations in the Dairy Produce Export Control Bill (which was introduced to-day), as compared with the Bill when it left the Special Committee last year, are contained in clause IS. The clause provides that from a date to be fixed no contract for the carriage of dairy produce shall be made except by the board acting as agent for the owner, or in conformity with conditions approved by . the board. If, however, the Meat Board notifies the Dairy Produce Board that it will not enter into a contract for sea carriage save in accordance with an arrangement between the two boards, the Dairy Produce Board must not contract for sea carriage save in accordance with such arrangements. There is also provision that every contract for sea carriage not mads in accordance with the above provisions shall be void. After these provisions have been enacted anyone exporting dairy produce must satisfy the Customs that the contract for sea carriage has been approved by the board. Contracts made before the passing of tlie Act are to be subject to the above provisions, unless the produce to which the contracts relate is shipped before August, 1924. The Hon. W. Nosworthy stated that the Bill would be referred to a committee which would take evidence, and the evidence would, with the approval of tho House, bo printed.
