MEAT AT HOME.

ACCUMULATION OF STORES. DRASTIC ACTION NECESSARY. By Telegraph.—Preß3 Assn.—Copyright, London, Feb. 4. The Incorporated Society of Meat Importers passed a resolution drawing attention to the fact that the weekly consumption of colonial meat is only half the weekly arrivals, while the cold stores are already full, causing a deplorable delay in the discharge of steamers. Unless drastic action is takeii in regard to the reduction of price, the situation will be most serious in July, when the Home supplies are available.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn. PREFERENCE TO THE ARGENTINE. BRITISH METHODS CRITICISED. Wanganui, Feb. 5. The Herald's correspondent, replying to Mr. Massey's criticisms of previous letters, reaffirms that. England has been flooded with Argentine and Brazilian meat since the armistice. There has been no excuse about bringing troops. England has allowed the Argentine three times the space allotted to Australasia- The correspondent asks: Should England be allowed to penalise the Dominions while she seeks fresh commercial fields and while her control blocks our works and prevents our operating in foreign markets? The correspondent quotes from Sir Thomas Mackenzie's recent 'statement to show the facts that Mr. Massey contradicts.
