EXPORT OF IRON ORE
PROHIBITION BY AUSTRALIA RETENTION FOR OWN NEEDS CANBERRA, May 19. (Received May 19, at 10 p.m.) The Prime Minister (Mr J. A. Lyons) told the House of Representatives that the Government intended to prohibit the export of Australian iron ore from July 1. Claims for reimbursement for expenditure already incurred on the exploitation of iron ore for export would be examined and dealt with equitably. The Government, Mr Lyons said, had acted on an expert report that the accessible iron ore deposits capable of economic development were so limited as to compel their retention for Australia’s own industrial needs.
