LIVESTOCK EMBARGO
FARMERS’ UNION ATTITUDE. OPPOSITION TO RELAXATION. A correction is needed with regard to the report sent out by the Press Association , regarding the Farmers’ Union Dominion executive meeting at Wellington, writes Mr. H. O. Mellsop, Auckland provincial president of the Farmers’ Union. The statement is made that the following resolution was carried: “That in the event of the embargo on stock from England being lifted, strict import restrictions should be imposed, and that all precautions be taken to deal with packing and other materials from countries affected by the foot-and-mouth disease.” The motion moved by myself and carried almost unanimously, was:— “That we endorse the decision of the last Dominion conference emphatically protesting against any lifting of the embargo against the importation of stock from countries infested .by foot-and-mouth disease and ask for redoubled efforts to prevent any possible importation of the disease through garbage or packing.”
