Speaking to the Empire Press Union on Wednesday, Lord Northcliffe

strongly demanded the removal of the embargo on the importation of Canadian store cattle. He said that a slur had been placed upon Canada and that the Canadians felt it deeply. The matter had been made worse by the fact that a pledge had been given to the Canadians that the embargo .would be removed. We agree with Lord Northeliffe's con- clusions. There was no doubt. a time when it was desirable to prevent the importation of cattle on the hoof which might bring in disease. The embargo was sanitary. The great British business of breeding pedigree cattle was far too important to be risked.
