[Per Press Association.] Wellington, August 1

The campaign carried on by Mr W. 1). Lysnar, of Gisborne, against the methods of handling frozen meat and dairy produce from New Zealand at the Port of London was given a mixed reception at the Agricultural Conference to-day. The Chairman (Mr Campbell) paid Mr Lysnar a high compliment on the work he had done in pricking up the Port of London authorities to action and the improvement in port methods. He had heard that those authorities intended to send a man out to Australia and New Zealand specially to controvert statements made by Mr Lysnar. MT Hammond (Wanganui) said Mr Lysnar was on right lines, and had done a power of good to New Zealand interests. Sir Walter Buchanan took the other view, and declared that Mr Lysnar’s remarks about the capacity of Bristol for handling New Zealand produce were disputed absolutely. In many other respects, he contended Mr Lysnar’s statements had been most unfortunate for the cause ho had at heart, and had done more harm to the®cause than could be well imagined. The Chairman wound up the discussion by saying that whatever Mr Lvsnar’s methods were, thev had cerit f; a f y • # • # tainly had the effect of bringing about improvements at the Port of London.
