TRICE ON BRITISH MARKET. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyrielit. London, April 20. The Smithfield meat men state that the Government is still forcing wholesale dealers to pay 9d for all classes of meat, instead of making 9d tlie maximum. Retailers are arranging a mass meeting to demand that the maximum shall, not exceed 4d. Sir T. Mackenzie, in a letter to The Times, urges an immediate reduction in the price of mutton, and expresses dissatisfaction at the ' continuance of the control of colonial products. Trade must not be imperiled by bureaucratic action. The newspapers strongly support Sir T. Mackenzie's action in regard to a reduction in the price of meat, also a free market for butter along the lines indicated in recent cable messages. The Daily Telegraph says: The Government has made, a start, even if a small one, in the matter of preference, and predicts that no future Chancellor of the Exchequer will have the courage to repudiate the policy. Nevertheless, Sir T. Mackenzie has rendered a public service in drawing attention to specific i piui'Ses of irritation. Public opinion in England will support .his claim that the fame justice should he meted out to the peoples of the Dominion and to the people here.
