MEAT EXPORTS
PROPOSED COMMODITY COUNCIL MR POLSON REPLIES TO CRITICISM (Per United Preps Association} WELLINGTON, Aug. 8. "I am sorry if Mr H. D. Acland has gathered from my remarks that the scheme unanimously supported by the Empire Producers' Conference in Sydney was intended to do away with the system" of direct negotiation with the British Government through the Meat Board," said Mr W. J. Poison, M.P., to-day in reply to Mr Acland's comment on Mr Poison's remarks at the Primary Producers' Council last week. " On the contrary, the Meat Board would undoubtedly be in a stronger position," Mr Poison said. "It would appoint its representative to the Commodity Council as an official body in New Zealand dealing with mutton and lamb exports. The function of the council would be to arrange for regulation of Empire and, probably, foreign imports also into Britain in order to avoid restriction. " The federation," Mr Poison concluded, " cannot have studied the nrorjosed plan or it would not be offering the strongest possible objection to it as Mr Acland suggests."
