ARMY MEAT CONTRACTS.
THE FEELING IN AUSTRALIA.
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.
(Received January 10th, 9.44 a.m.) SYDNEY, January 10. The Hon. H. Copeland, the New South Wales Agent-General, replying to Sir John See's cable, states that the War Office informed him that all meat supplies for South Africa would be obtained from British and Imperial sources if possible.
There is a strong feeling in local busings circles that the State Governments should act promptly, impressing the Imperial authorities svith the necessity for amending the oonvact so as to make it compulsory that only colonial meat, or that obtained in a British dependency, should be supplied, otherwise there is a fear of ihe contracts going to the Argentine. It is comtended that, notwithstanding the drought, there is plenty of meat in Australia to supply the contracts, or that New Zealand alone can meet the demand.
