EXPORT OF MEAT
PROPOSED RESTRICTION.
ALTERNATIVE SUGGESTION.
(United Press Assn. —Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 10.20 p.m.) Canberra, November 13. The Prime Minister, Mr J. A. Lyons, clarified the meat restrictions situation to-day. He said that the British Government had suggested that the Commonwealth Government should arrange the cessation of killing cattle for export for two months and thus enable the British Government to deal with the meat situation in the United Kingdom. The Commonwealth Government, however, was unable to concur owing to the likelihood of causing unemployment. Alternatively, it had proposed the suspension of the export of frozen beef and veal for two months, as this would not be accompanied by any cessation of killing and would not constitute restriction. Mr Lyons added that a final statement would be issued after the pending meeting of the Meat Advisory Committee.
