RE-STOCKING OF EUROPE
THAT a vital and world-wide responsibility devolved upon the farmers of New Zealand, was the opinion of Mr W. J. Murdoch, member of the New Zealand Dairy Board, who addressed a meeting in Whakatane recently. This responsibility declared Mr Murdoch, was in the form of the replenishment of the exhausted dairy and general farm stock of rural Europe, where the finest herds had been sacrificed irrespective of pedigree, selection and breeding, in the interests of feeding the armies of Hitler. The wiping out of the dairy herds of Denmark, Holland and the Baltic countries had been the result of systematic plunder over the past three years and when peace reigned again it was obvious that a terrific world-wide effort would have to be made to re-establish those vital agricultural industries upon which the people of Europe depended for their very lives. Here was the task in which New Zealand was destined to play no small part.
