SURPLUS MEAT
v PROPOSALS IN AUSTRALIA. STORAGE AND CANNING. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) SYDNEY, June 13. A scheme for dealing with the export surplus of Australian meats was outlined by the Minister of Commerce, Sir Earle Page, when he announced the lifting of the Commonwealth ban on the slaughtering of lambs for export. The main principles of the scheme, which will be financed by industry and the Government, provide that surplus lamb, which cannot be shipped, will be stored, and that surplus beef and mutton will be canned. Sir Earle Page said the Government would buy lambs for freezing at prices somewhat below those provided for in the United Kingdom' contract. Out of any credits accruing to the Commonwealth after shipment of lamb subsidies would be paid for the canning of mutton, which would be purchased by the Government. Export of certain classes of beef would be prohibited, and a price would be fixed at which such lines would be sold to eanners. The Government would also purchase canned pig meats.
