MARKETING OF MEAT
AN EMPIRE POLICY PROBLEM FOR PREMIERS POLICIES MUST CONVERGE (Elec. Tel, Copyright —United Press Assn.) (Received Feb. 19, noon) LONDON, Feb. 18. The. Times says that conditions on the meat, market are such that home-grown beef is bound to sink unless, they can be improved. Reef in England and Wales accounts for 35 per cent, of the total agricultural production, and in Scotland to 54- per cent. Mr. S. M. Bruce, at the World Conference, said that it- was a confession of bankruptcy of statesmanship to restrict consumption when so many have their needs unsatisfied, but it will be hopeless for both, Britain and the. Dominions if agricultural prices are allowed to collapse below the cost of production.
During the. discussions with Mr. J. A. Lyons and the Dominion Prime Ministers in the spring, coherent converging policies must be framed reconciling the restoration of British agriculture and ■tlie home market for British, goods with the development of the Dominions and the; interests of British exports.
