BRITAIN WANTS MEAT.
A MILLION TONS NEXT YEAR, I EUROPE'S GBEAT SCARCITY. By Telegraph.— Press As3n.—Copyright. London, October 28. Mr C. A. McCurdy, Parliamentary Secretary to the Food Ministry, speak* mg at Loughborough, dealt with the question of meat supplies and described the sitoation as full of menace, made more menacing by the fact that the great meat trust was ready to exploit the position. Mr. McCurdy foreshadowed Government control to secure stability. He did not want to perpetrate wartime controls, but more elastic and less restrictive methods were necessary. He anticipated a definite continuous policy of supervision rather than interference, covering a reasonable period of years. He gave statistics showing that Britain required to import a million toitf of meat during 1920 and the rest of Europe three million tons, while the total exportable surpluses of Australia. New Zealand, South America, and South Africa together only amounted to 1,210,000 tons.—Reuter"
