QUOTAS A FAILURE
BRITISH MEAT IMPORTS EXPERIENCE WITH BACON • FANTASTIC FOOLISHNESS ’ (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Received Dec. 19, 11 a.m.) LONDON. Dec. 18. The Daily Herald says that disaster threatens the marketing of bacon pigs, and bacon. The board commenced work in the middle of 1933, whereas import quotas were imposed in 1932 to protect home industry, which remains in a condition of individualistic disorder. Retail prices have risen about 40 per cent., forcing some consumers to cease buying. Britain now pays £40,000,000 for 7.750,00Qcwt. of Danish bacon, whereas the same amount purchased 11,391,000 cwt in 1932.
“This fantastic foolishness masquerades under the name of agricultural planning,” comments, the Herald.
