SHIPPING SHORTAGE.
In dealing with the subject the Farmers' Union Advocate says; "The New Zealand Government is probably dointf ill it possibly can to obtain ships, and it is no fault of theirs if we go short; but it is unwise to keep producers in the dark, if it is possible to give more information.. .In view of the warning issued by the Minister, the butter factory directors sho'uld promptly consider how they can best meet the unfortunate situation that has arisen. The trouble may notabe of long duration, but it is beyond the power of anyone to speak authoritatively on this point. We must hope for the best and prepare for the worst. In this difficulty we hope to see the closest co-operation on the part of ill producers to help the dairy farmers to meet the situation, which seems to threaten them with disaster."
