COMPLEMENTARY INTERESTS
" It is clear that the long-term interests of home and Dominion agriculture are not conflicting, but complimentary. The prosperity of both is identified with expanding mai-kets based on lower costs and on a rising average standard of life. Meanwhile, British agriculture is in a state of serious, depression, and such .longterm policies may not be enough to secure its immediate salvation. Hence special assistance with a view to lowering costs or artificially expanding the market may be necessary as a tempoi'ary measure. In the interests of the Commonwealth as a whole, it is far better- to apply a subsidy to the point of consumption (for instance, giving milk to school children) than to the point of production; for the latter type of plan tends to aggravate the relative over-produc-tion that it is intended to remedy.— "The Round Table."
