McEwan Urges Special Committee on Australian Tobacco
Mr J McEwen M H R deputy leader of the Australian Country Party pressed the Prime Minister in Canberra to form a special committee including scientists and agricultural officials to study increasing tobacco production and a type suitable for export to the United Kingdom. He cited Britain's 50 percent import duty as justification and argued Australia must conserve dollar resources. The Prime Minister said past trials were not wholly successful but would consult ministers to explore ways to improve quantity and quality. McEwen defended Australia's capacity to grow tobacco and warned every imported shipment reduces dollars for essential equipment.
