DAIRY CONTROL

THE LONDON AGENCY.

RESIGNATIONS OF ADVISERS

By Telegraph—Press Association,

AUCKLAND, April 7

Regarding the London agency of the Dairy Produce Board, advice has reached Auckland indicating that Mr Paterson is not alone in his resignation, but that three representatives of the Importers’ Association, who were appointed as an Advisory Committee to the agency In November, had found it impossible to carry on, and in February had severed their connection as advisers.. Three other members of the Association were persuaded, “with some difficulty,” to take their places. It is stated that after three months these advisers found it impracticable to carry on. It was stated that the influence of tho advisers with tho Board was nil. In fulfilment of a promise made to the New Zealand producers that they would afford the Board the fullest co-operation, the Association decided to appoint three other members as an advisory committee, the members who accepted office being Sir Thomas Clement (head of Andrew Clement and Sons), Mr James Gillanfiers (dairy nroduce broker), and Mr Davidson (of J. and V. Lansdale and Co., Ltd.) Information now available suggests that the expedience of this committee was akin to that of its predecessor.
