PRICE OF BUTTER
MR. MASSEY SPEAKS. Wellington, Last Night. "Statements have been made,” stated the Premier, “that the Government is using the Imperial Government butter to force down butter prices in this country. This is not the case.. The butter referred to is not our butter, but has been bought and paid for by the Imperial Government, but there was a great deal of dissatisfaction at the prices quoted at the beginning of the month. That, coupled with the fact that the Imperial Government was offering to sell its butter here on certain conditions, and at a lower price than that paid for it, had induced the New Zealand Government to request reconsideration of what appeared to have been agreed upon by the representative producers of some of the dairying districts. The matter was now in the hands of the Director of Agriculture, who was conf'en’ing with the producers. He would meet them in the course of a few days, in Wellington.”
