I A correspondent who has just red ‘turned from England writes to thd ' Herald, saying that the Imperial Gov-1 lernment has been dumping Artge ilrind ianc‘: Brazilian meat into E.nglu.ni wcr M since the armistice, and he points -‘at’. that the glut is timed exactly with thin’ removal of the commancleer, “We are‘ to be pannicked into letting Hritairt resume the comnianrliér, wnich is one of the biggest bluifs ever worked on.‘ our loyalty and forbearance.” The writer states: “The meat which England has been flooded with is almost: uneatable, while ours is of high qual~ ity._” The writer declares that there never has been a shortage of shipping to justify the treatment meted out. England has had ample shipping to bolster up her interests in the Argentine, and also to open up fresh chan< nels in Europe, and has also shipping lying idle in her docks. The contributor further declares that England has been the biggest meat trust of the war, and gave American firm-s preference -to New Zealand.
