THE STOCK EMBARGO
FARMERS WANT INQUIRY NEED OF IMPROVING QUALITY (Per United Press Association) MASTERTON, Sept. 20. A decision that the Government should be requested to hold an open inquiry concerning the embargo on the importation of live stock direct from England was made by the Wairarapa Provincial Executive of the Farmers’ Union to-day. Action in this direction was urged by Sir William Perry, who expressed the opinion that the proposed quarantine regulations were unworkable and would be too costly. He maintained that there was no risk of foot and mouth disease being introduced because of the precautions now being observed by breeders and authorities in England, and that it was imperative that New Zealand should import new blood to improve the quality of the stock and to meet the competition in the fat lamb and chilled beef trades. Several other speakers supported Sir William, though some opposition to the removal of the restrictions was apparent. The motion was carried oft the voices.
