LOST BUTTER CARGO
SUNKEN DORIC STAR MUST BE REPLACED APPEAL BY MR. NASH (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Brief reference to the loss of the Doric Star, which is believed to have been sunk by a raider in the South Atlantic, was made by the Minister of Marketing, the Hon. W. Nash, when making an appeal for increased production during a broadcast address last night. “We do not know the full facts yet, but the Doric Star is thought to be at the bottom of the sea,” said Mr. Nash. There was a tremendous lot of butter produced by the dairy farmers of this country on that boat, and Britain will want more to make up for what has been lost. The more of our produce we can send to Britain the better it will be for Britain and for us too.” No New Zealand mails were on board the Doric Star, it was stated. It is not known what Australian mails, if any, were carried in the vessel, but it is known that no mails from New Zealand were dispatched by this ship.
