Oct, 30.---Rejec- tion of the proposal for quota pur- chasing of dairy products by Great Britain, a system which would grant the dominions a larger share of the British market, was said to be in- dicated by the draft reports' which have just been presented to a com- mittee of the Imperial Conference. The committee under Rt. Hon. William Graham, president of the Board of Trade, today received draft reports on the applications of the quota to British purchases of butter, cheese, eggs, canned fruit and canned fish, These drafts are still under consideration in ecom- mittee and they are lable to some | modification, * But they are sald to fidicate so many difficulties le in the way of quota purchasing' of dairy products as to amoupt to vir- tual rejection, : Main he. wo pri . ¢ oll he onsen e it FRAPS te dalry products are firstly, thé. difficulty of controlling purchases made over a scattered area, and secondly pro- visions in the existing trade treaties Letween Great Britain and foreign powers. A sub-committee which is ipre- paring a report on the question of British buying of wheat by quotas, | is continuing its task this after: noon. 'The prevailing view among the experts, it is understood, Is that application of a wheat quota in technically practicable, because purchasing of wheat is more easily controlled than that of dairy pro. ducts, One difficulty in this mat. ter however, is in ensuring that wheat shipped to the United King- dom under the quota provisions would not subsequently be divert- ed elsewhere. Percentage Raised The discussions of the statistical aspects of the wheat quota plan have resulted in an increase in the 'eggosted quota percentage for Bri- tish purchase of empire wheat, Tha original figure discussed was 48 per cent. Now the figure lald down as the basis of discussion 1g 65; per cent In other words, Britain is ask- ed. to figure on purchasing 65 per cent of her wheat requirements from other parts of the empire, The remaining 45 per cent would be di: vided between British wheat-grows' ers and foreign countries. - : The empire premiers will meet with Premier Ramsay MacDonald at Downing street tomorrow.
