MEAT FOR THE ARMIES
OVER A MILLION SPENT BY NEW ZEALAND. Up till Saturday last the Government had expended on behalf of the Imperial Government in the purchase of frozen meat for export the sum of £1,001,619. As the Government took over the export business only on March 3 last, this sum has been spent in a period of between seven and eight weeks. "And it goes without saying," said the Prime Muiister, commenting on these figures to a reporter, "that we could have exported a great deal more meat if it had been possible to get the ships to carry it. "I have been endeavouring, but unsuccessfully, to arrange for more space for Canterbury meat on account of the drought in that district," Mr. Massey went on to say, "but the difficiilty is that all over New Zealand the works are only running intermittently, and I am afraid that condition of things will obtain for some weeks to come."
