Gets to Work

A committee set up by the Governor of Fiji to consider the question of assistance to the dairy industry, had its first meeting in September. It called for evidence from the public.

The committee was formed after complaints in the Legis lative Council of unfair com petition from New Zealand and Australian producers. It was stated that local dairymen had a large and growing surplus of butter.

The committee’s terms of reference are: “To consider whether assistance to the dairy ing industry is justified and . if so, to recommend the form which such assistance should take.”
