FROZEN MEAT TRADE
THE 1 POSITION IN LONDON
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.; LONDON, February 25. Sir T. MacKenzie continues to press for a reduction in the price of frozen meat. He says if the Government does not make such a reduction as will secure sales, the meat will inevitably become unfit for human food. It is only due to New Zealand that the Government should use some of its profits made during the war, as a setoff against the loss that- may occur in effecting a clearance of the stores A leading authority on the meat trade suggests the most way to clear the situation would be to release all stores
of mutton at a considerably reduced isay 6d per pound. The Government have made large profits out of imported meat during the war, up till quite recently, flfherefoire, they could well afford now to do as a business firm would do in similar circum- j
stances, viz., cut the loss and get rid of present stocks. This course would not only relieve the congestion at the docks and, in the shipping, but would help the workers to get cheap meat, and prevent any further demand for an increase in wages.
