N.Z. BUTTER EXPORT
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph —j Copyright.» LONDON, October 15. Sir T. M. Wilford, at a luncheon on the Taimui, which is bringing forty thousand boxes of New Zealand butter, declared that the price of New Zealand butter wag exactly the srone as a year ago. “Whenever n suggestion was made that Now Zealand was deliberately exploiting the economic situation, to raise the price to the British public, I invite you to look for the cloven hoof of foreign interest and help to nail the lie.”
He made the statement because of the allegation that Empire producers were the first to raise the price of butter following the economic crisis. The facts were that the stimulation of the butter production in the Dominions during the past three years had conferred, an enormous boon on British housewives. At the Empire production went up, the price to the housewife descended, until at one period of this year, they were able to purchase the finest butter for Is 4d a pound. If the Empire supplied all the butter to Britain, an additional twenty millions sterling per year, would circulate within the Empire.
