DEFINITE QUOTAS ON MEAT
CHILLED AND FROZEN VARIETIES.
BRITAIN MODIFIES PROPOSALS.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Aug. 2.
The allotment of definite quotas of frozen and chilled beef imports into Great Britain was sought by Mr. J. H. Thomas, Dominions Secretary, during the discussions between the British Dominions representatives, but Mr. .S. M. Bruce, Australian High Commissioner, opposed them, claiming that the Dominions were entitled to decide their own apportionment, especially because chilled meat promises to replace a considerable quantity of frozen meatMr. Thomas agreed, subject to the provision that the combined chilled and frozen meat did not exceed the agreed shipping schedules during a definite period. The Sun is informed that the ‘ quotas which Britain proposes to impose practically do not affect Australia’s immediate exports. The present agreements are merely temporary and are designed to maintain prices pending a long-term policy.
