BUTTER SUPPLIES
QUESTION OF STORAGE IN BRITAIN FOOD MINISTER CRITICISED. STATEMENT DESCRIBED AS NONSENSE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON. November 3. The “Daily Mail” says that provision trade leaders describe the statement by the Minister of Food, Air \V. S. Morrison that, butter cannot be stored as nonsense. They suggest that the Government inadequately attempted to lay in supplies. One said: “Does Mr Morrison know that New Zealand butter can be kept for six to nine months? How does he suppose it travels across the world? Dominion supplies are at present ample. Moreover. New Zealand and Australia are having bumper seasons." In the House of Commons on Wednesday Mr Morrison said that bacon and butter were perishable and could not be stored, and therefore no reserve existed at the outbreak of the war. According to a Dublin message, the Government has prohibited the export of creamery butter because of market conditions. It oilers to purchase stocks of creamery butter delivered to a central store.
