IMPORTS LEVY
ALTERNATIVE TO QUOTA; LONDON, Wednesday. A levy on imported beef, roughly equal to the deficiency of a payment necessary to ensure the home producer a fair price for his meat, is suggested by the standing committee on beef to the Council of Agriculture. The committee points out that the restriction of imports has not achieved a rise in prices, and considers that tariffs are not practicable under existing agreements and would not be effective, owing to the large imports of Canadian live stock and Australian and New Zealand beef, which is duty free. Therefore a levy is the best alternative.
