COLONIAL MEAT.
A LONDON COMPLAIiNiT. STATEMENT BY FEDERAL MINISTER.' (Received May 29, 9 a.m.) MELBOURNE, May 29. Referring to the cable message complaining that New Zealand and Australian mutton was being sold below the price lor Argentine mutton, Mr Tudor, (Minister of Customs) declared that, "'the message had evidently been inspired by competitive- dealers. No meat had left Australia for nearly 12 months, except on account oi the Imperial Government, and if it was being forced into sale at a low price it was not the Federal Government's fault. Perhaps those who inspired the cable do not desire the Imperial Government to take the importation out of their hands. In his opinion, the Imporial Government was the best body to handle meat importation at the present timeMr Tudo.r doubts if the Queensland proposal to sell horseflesh on the Continent is a good thing for the Australian meat trade.
