BRITISH IMPORTS.
QUOTAS AND RESTRICTIONS. GOVERNMENT’S POLICY, NO GENERAL RULE. (Official Wireless.) (Received Feb. 29, ii.3o a.m.) RUGBY, Feb. 28. In the House of Commons to-day, asked whether the Government intended to abandon the present system of quotas and rcslriotions upon imported foodstuffs in favour of tariffs on agricultural produce with preference lo llic Dominions, Mr Stanley Baldwin said the Government had often stated their, view that Quantitative regulation was not necessarily in all cases the most appropriate method of assisting Hie Home agricultural industry. For example, Hie method adopted in regard to fruit and horticultural produels had from Hie outset been that of import dtilics. The Government would prefer in (lie case of meat to lollow broadly Hie precedent ot the Wheat Act and proceed on the lines indicated by the Minister of Agriculture, but it was not possible to lay down a general rule as the circumstances in each case were different.
