Levy Plan For Meat Imports Faces Dominion Opposition
A British proposal for a guaranteed price levy on meat imports aiming to favor Dominions and aid home producers drew friendly but sharp scrutiny at a colonial office meat conference. Canada and Ireland attended. Australia New Zealand and Southern Rhodesia showed concern. The plan would impose a levy on mutton lamb and beef with a 50 percent preference for Dominions and potential quota alignment with Ottawa talks. Dominions worry the levy adds a serious constraint and may require Argentina to waive clauses from last year’s trade pact. Officials expect further Dominion consultations before the next meeting.
