British Embargo On Canadian Cattle Based On A False Claim
Ottawa reports Dr. S F Tolmie minister of agriculture told the Canadian Press that the British embargo on Canadian cattle rests on a false charge of pleuro-pneumonia from 37 years ago. He said the claim was thoroughly exploded and called for honesty if trade barriers remain. Tolmie noted interimperial trade talks and an Empire exhibition planned for 1923 to foster self sufficiency and understanding among Dominion partners. He also described visits to the Derby Royal Agricultural Show and the Olympia Horse Show.
