ARMY AND NAVY MEAT CONTRACTS.
ARGENTINE V. AUSTRALIAN. s (Received March 31st, 9.45 p.m.) LONDON, March 30In an interview, Mr Edmund Jowett, a well-known Australian nastoralist, expressed surprise that the Imperial Government; contracts for supplying the Army and Navy with Argentine frozen meat were still in existence, as well as the Board of Trade arrangement that certain Argentine meat-works should be run on the Board's account, thus shutting cut Australian beef from Army and Navy contracts. The Army contracts with the Argentine cease on June 30th, and after that the Army authorities will be prepared to take Australian meat. Tho Board of Trade's arrangement for the Navy expires on December 31st, but something may be done to secure an earlier cancellation. Mr Jowett suggests the advisability of the Army and Nayy authorities uniting in asking for tenders from Australian importers and meat-works.
