NEW ZEALAND BUTTER
OBJECTION TO PRICES
"OPPOSITION PROPAGANDA"
' (Sydney Sun Cables.) (Received November 8, noon)
LONDON,

The New Zealand Hairy Control Board by fixing butter juices at 148 s and 150 s per cut. caused resentment on the market amounting to suggestion of a boycott. Mr. Cough, the overseas' farmers' representative, interviewed, said: "The talk of a boycott is hot air. During the recent slackness buyers had not bothered to discriminate because of the few shillings difference between Australian and New Zealand butter. The present retail price is so low that it practically stifles Dominion trade, which now is only, one-fifth of normal. Present, supplies are chiefly from Ireland and the Continent. Control does not, effect the real position, the problem being to dispose of the New Zealand quantities stored in Britain."
Mr. Grounds said the boycott report was untrue. It was inspired by the opposition for propoganda purposes. Sales were as normal as could be expected in the present depression. So far as New Zealand was concerned (here was nothing to be dissatisfied about.
