BRITAIN STATES POLICY WILL INCREASE ITS OUTPUT CONFERENCE DISCUSSION . recess begins next week POWERS GIVEN TO BUREAU British Wireless.. Rugby, July 15. The World Economic Conference is expected to adjourn on July 27. The question of reassembly after the recess will probably be left to the bureau which, it is expected, will be invested with power to call the delegates together again when the world situation is more favourable for a solution of the problems before the conferenc. During the discussion on the proposal of the Polish delegation to set up a subcommittee to consider the need' for improvement in the marketing conditions of dairy products, Mr. W. E. Elliot, British Minister of Agriculture, said that Britain took 80 per cent, of the world’s butter exports and 50 per cent, of the cheese exports. The United Kingdom was also a large producing, although not exporting, country, and was thus affected by the existing world’s surplus of butter and dairy products. He made it clear that it was the Government’s intention to increase the output of dairy products in Britain. There were no meetings to-day of the conference committees, but the work will be continued on Monday, when the meetings will include one of the drafting committee of the sub-commission on subsidies and shipping.
