New York, June 7.

Wilson, spokesman for tho Chicago packers, demos most of the revelations, and declares the packers welcome supervision if not compelled to pay tho cost.

London, June 7,

Many American bluejackets and inmates of some of the British workhouses refuse to eat American tinned moats.

Melbourne, June 7.

With reference to the War Office decision regarding colonial meat, Mr Seddon says there ought now to be an opportunity for Now Zealand to bring under the notice of tho British Government .and British consumers the advantage of having colonial meat, frozen, chilled, or tinned Mr Seddon communicated with tho British Goverment through the Governor, and with Mr Reeves. He states there is no place in the world where the same rigid inspection of slaughtering obtains as in New Zealand. Every abattoir was under Government inspection, and if there was the slightest sign of taint or disease the meat was condemned. Inspection and grading cost New Zealand /'20,000 a yrar. The ; same care was exercised with tinned meats. Not only that, but the best meats only were sent Home. One of the complaints was that New Zealand was overweight meat, and poor meat was not allowed to be exported.

Mr Seddon’s communication with the British Government also points out that certificates given by New Zealand meat inspectors can be relied upon. and are accepted at Home, and that meat companies, abattoirs, and municipal abattoirs are all under Government inspection.

Many orders bad been entirely cancelled. He predioted a terrible pinio in the Woit, and ruin to many farmers end breeders if packers in the foreign trade were mined, and it seemed 1 kely they would be.
