ARMY MEAT CONTRACTS.
MR SEDDON CRITICISES WAR OFFIOE METHODS. PES PRESS ASSOCIATION. Wellington, January 24. At the banquet on the Surrey to-day the Premier, in replying to the toast of "The Government," said the Ministry in its reply to th? call by the Country had the people with ic nil \'\ n»the line. He bad read with amazement the Pieis cablegrams stating that a contract for the supply of meat to the army in South Africa had gone to the Argentine. Did the Home authorities need waking up? If they did, the colonies would have to K them know with no uncertain voice that Australia and New Zealand could give them supplies ample in quantity and of the best 'quality. He had cabled to the Home Office pointing out the grave injustice which had b»en done by the action of the W«.r Office regarding these next contracts, and was anxiously awaiting a reply. He felt that there was evidently great ignotance of the powers of, supply of the colonies at Home, and he trusted the foreign meat contracts would yet be cancelled.
