DAIRY INDUSTRY
QUOTAS OPPOSED. DANNEVIRKE, Wednesday. Speaking at a meeting of dairymen on the subject of the quota, Mr W. lorns (chairman of the Dairy Board) said that the board’s attitude definitely was to oppose it. New Zealand was the only country outside Canada where dairy produce was not subsidised \>y the Government. Even the Danes had a subsidy. Government subsidies made dumping possible. Danish butter which was excluded from Germany was permitted to bo landed in England, but New Zealand was to be put on a quota. If trade with foreign countries was established, and these cut out subsidies, there would be no need for a quota, and butter would go up 2d or 3d a lb. Although lie knew nothing definite, ho had hopes from hints that had been reported to have been dropped from Government heads that there might be some improvement in prospects for the future. —(P.A.)
