A BUTTER QUOTA?
Minister Questioned on Proposal. Per Press Association. ELTHAM, July 31. The Minister of Internal Affairs (the lion J. A. Young) was interviewed at Eltham regarding a suggestion that, in the event of the application of a quota system, the simplest way for the Government to apply' it »to the butter industry would be to withdraw permission for dairy companies to add 16 per cent of water, thus automatically' cutting down the bulk of the butter exported. The Minister, replying, said that personally", he did not think such a course would appeal to the Government. It was not practicable, for several obvious reasons which he briefly' outlined. New Zealand would not get any more for its butter in the dry state, but so much of it was blended at Home that the probabilities were that the blenders and not the producers would benefit.
