The “Daily Mail” interviewed Mr Oroiiml-, the ('hnirinnn of the New Zealand Dairy Hoard. He explained that New Zealand intended to deliver butter mid cheese to the Kritish consumer by more direct channels, reducing the price, and eliminating speculating. When In- came to London he had found that Americans had cornered large quantities of New Zealand hotter, of which tin- supplies were short. "The speculation i- not conlined to Americans,” he said. “It is tin* Hoard’s business to slop it, and to ensure regular supplies ol best Now Zealand produce in Hritain throughout the year. We hope to eliminate the . stributors who lake no trouble to see that our butler is kept properly. New Zealand cannot afford In lose its reputation through the carelessness of new firms.”
