The representative of dairy companies which are engaged in the manufacture of cheese and of the cheese trade met in Wellington to-day to discuss the decision of the Imperial Government to requisition one-third of the output of all New Zealand factories for army purposes. The intentions of the Government were explained by the head of the Imperial Supply Committee (Mr. R. Triggs), who has the arrangements in hand. The decisions of the conference were reported later to the Prime Minister, Who this evening informed a reporter that the representatives of the cheese industry had assured him that they were ready to accept the arrangements made by the Imperial authorities, and to cooperate in any way in their power in order to make the scheme a success.
