BUTTER QUOTA
MR COATES’ STATEMENT SHOCK TO DAIRY BOARD MR. D. FULTON’S REPLY [ Per Press Absoriation. I HAMILTON, May R. Replying to the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates’ statement regarding butter restriction* Mr. Dynes Fulton (acting chairman of the Dairy Board) stated in an interview with the Waikato Times that it came as a great shock, as he had indicated to Mr. Coates at a recent conference with him that the question was finished and in view of the Ottawa agreement the industry had rejected the restriction, so had Australia. Notwithstanding the fact that they would not bo affected to the same extent as New Zealand they had opposed it on principle. In view of the decision reached and the fact that butter had risen to 80s per cwt., one wondered why Mr. Coates made lhe statement at this particular time. Mr. Coates was fully conversant with the position, and one would have expected that lie would have made tho statement before the delegation left for Australia. Mr. Fulton contended that the publication of Mr. Coates’ statement might be the means of further agitation by those favouring restrictions. He felt confident that the producers would just as strenuously resent interference by the Government in an industry which it was obvious they knew nothing about. Mr. Coates had scathingly commented on the cheese quality, but the Government could have given greater assistance to the industry. If Mr. Coatei could forecast future restrictions, why was he proceeding with tho small farm scheme and the policy of generally increasing production. Mr. Fulton was optimistic enough lo feel that after the World Conference was over and a world adjustment of finance takes place improvements can be expected.
