PROPOSED QUOTAS
DAIRY BOARD MEMBER’S VIEW. Per Press Association. HAMILTON, Oct. 4. The negotiations between Mr T. Baxter, the Dairy Board and the Government were commented upon by Mr Dynes Fulton, acting chairman of the Dairy Board, at Hamilton, to-day. In connection with Mr Baxter’s request for a restriction of 10 per cent, on cheese exported to Britain, Mr Fulton said the board had discussed the matter with Mr Baxter and its decision had been made known to the Government. Mr Baxter was still conferring with the Government. Giving his own views on the matter, Mr Fulton said it tvas obvious that if an imposition were placed on New Zealand cheese exports we would be penalised to a greater extent than any other country in the world owing to the fact that we were the largest exporters of cheese and for several years our greatest competitor, Canada, had been reducing her output for exportation. EXCHANGE RATE BLAMED. “AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.” Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Oct. 4. An assertion that information revived by him by the last English mail indicated that Mr T. Baxter’s visit to JVew Zealand was for the purpose of telling the Dominion dairy producers that they will have to accept a quota or a dumping duty was made to-day by a businessman in close touch with the position at Home. “The view held at Home,” said the informant, “is that the increased exchange lias given the New Zealand producer an unfair advantage, and for once farming interests in England have a solid front in urging Government action.”
