A STRONG PROTEST. Palmerston N,, Jone 28 The National Dairy Association today decided on the motion of Mr Buchanan (Thames Valley). ‘‘That this meeting resents the attitude taken up by the British Ministry of Pood in placing restrictions on the importation and sale of New Zealand dairy produce while British and Irish producers enjoy a free market, and as British producers we demand equal treatment with the producers of the world over, since the rationing of English and Irish butter has ceased.” The resolution is to be sent to the Prime Minister and cabled to the Association’s Home representative.
