EMBARGO ON LIVE STOCK
REQUEST FOR REMOVAL BY GOVERNMENT (United Press Association) MASTERTON, September 20. A decision that the Government should be requested to hold an open 1 inquiry about the embargo on the importation of live stock direct from England was made by the Wairarapa Provincial Executive of the Farmers’ Union today. Action in that direction was urged by Sir William Perry, who expressed the opinion that the proposed quarantine regulations were unworkable and would be too costly. He maintained that there was no risk of foot-and-mouth disease being introduced because of the precautions now being observed by breeders and authorities in England and that it was imperative that New Zealand should import new blood to improve the quality of its stock and meet the competition in the fat lamb and chilled beef trades. Several other speakers supported Sir William, though some opposition to the removal of restrictions was apparent. The motion was carried on the voices.
