CATTLE SUBSIDY
EXTENDED BY HOUSE OF COMMONS British Official Wireless (Received June 27, 5.5 p.m.) RUGBY, June 26. The House of Commons approved of the extension by three months of the period during which the cattle subsidy is payable under the Act of 1935. The Minister of Agriculture (Mr W. E. Elliot) explained that the purpose of the short-term extensions was to enable Parliament to keep the position under close review. Meanwhile, negotiations for a long-term meat policy were proceeding with representa-* tives of the Dominions and the Argentine Governments. In these negotiations they had now got down to the realities of the situation and they were not without hope that a satisfactory agreement would ultimately be reached. Even If such an arrangement was arrived at it could not be isut into force at the end of this month, when the payment of the subsidy would automatically cease.
