PROMISING OUTLOOK

MEAT NEGOTIATIONS NEW ZEALAND’S POSITION (Special to tin; Herald.) WELLINGTON, this day. It will be realised from the London cable message regarding the Argentine attitude towards the proposed meat agreement with Empire producers that the British import duty on New Zealand meat is still a matter under dismission. Apparently Britain wishes to recoup from the import v duty the millions spent in subsidising the home beef producers. It this is confined to beef, it;

consequences to the Dominion will not tic so important, as any heavy restriction nil mutton and lamb imports, and in this respect the outlook is very promising, the prospect- being that- New Zealand producers will hardly notice the regulative, process provided shipments are confined, as usual, to first, quality. With the meat, agreement, approaching finality, an interesting question arises regarding the possible regulation of the importation of dairy products into Britain. Garetul inquiries into tins aspect indicate that- this question has not been raised by tile British authorities. Therefore, it is assumed that- they are content, to leave it- hi abeyance until the agreement' with Denmark in respect to its dairy quota runs mil, about March. 1956.
