The meat policy of the United Kingdom Government is first to secure the development of home production, and secondly to give the Dominions an expanding share of the imports to the United King- dom.

Australia agrees to limit her ex- port of frozen mutton and lamb to the United Kingdom for 1933 to the total for the year ending June 30, 1932. In return therefor, the United Kingdom undertakes to re- gulate the importation of foreign meat, but detalls of the methods of this "agreed programme" will be published later.

An article in the agreements pro- vides that benefits generally shall acerue to non-self-governing Colonics and Protectorates for free entry into the United Kingdom for three years of all dairy produce. It is also embodied that all agree- ments, which will run for five years will be subject to six months de- nuciation.-Beuter.
