STOCK FROM BRITAIN
IMPORTATION OPPOSED By Telegraph—Press Association HASTINGS, May 13, After a long discussion, members of the Hawke’s Bay Branch of the Farmers’ Union decided, at the annual Provincial Conference on Saturday afternoon, to oppose the lifting of the embargo on live stock, and passed a motion: “That the Union protest against the lifting of the embargo on the importation of live stock from Great Britain.” Reference to the circular issued on the subject by the Minister of Agriculture was made by several speakers, Major McDonell contending that it was a pistol presented at the heads of the New Zealand producer. “If we don’t lift the embargo the British Government will take it out of us in our export quotas. I don’t like the tone of it at all," he said.
