NEW ZEALAND MEAT
ENGLISH CONSUMERS NOT BEING - EXPLOITED. . , , London, January 14. . . Sir.Thomas Mackenzie, New Zealand High .Commissioner, speaking before, the Cold Storage and Ice Association, said there was an impression that the 'dominions were exploiting the consumers in , the--Mother Country in coiniec-. tion with food prices. This was unjustified:: 'New, Zealand's meat contract was fixed at the same price as in -1916,-.to. enable the meat to be retailed at con-. I siderably below the present prices, I which, were.from Is; to 2s.- for mutton, and Is. .7d. i'or;lamb. The British au-; thorities explain that they are some-, times' paying Is. Id. : for American' meat. ''. It was never New Zealand's intention to sell..her meat 'at a low-price-in order that big prices could be paid, to Americans.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. ' . ' '
