“If there is such a serious demand for cheese in Great Britain could not some system of rationing be introduced in, New Zealand?” asked a speaker at a meeting of dairy factory representatives at Invercargill. The chairman (Mr John Dunlop), South Island representative of the New Zealand Dairy Board, said that so far there had been no suggestion of rationing cheese in New Zealand. Between 3000 and 4000 tons of cheese was used in local consumption and if difficulty was experienced in producing the 15,000 tons of additional cheese required by the British Government, the tonnage available for New Zealand consumption, or part of it, would no doubt be exported too. If this was necessary rationing would no doubt then be introduced.
