MEAT SUPPLIES.
MINISTER'S WARNING.
(Router.) LONDON, October 28. Mr McCurdy, speaking at Loughborough, dealt .with tho question of meat supplies, described the situation as full of menace and made more menacing by the fact that a great meat trust was ready to exploit the position. He foreshadowed, Government control to secure stability. He did not want to perpetuate war-time controls, but more elastic ancjt less restrictive methods were necessary../ He anticipated a definite continuous policy of supervision rather than, interference, covering a reasonable period of years ahead. He gave statistics, showing that Britain required to import a million tons of meat during 1920,} and the rest of Europe three million tons, while the total exportable surpluses of Australia, New Zealand, South America ■ and South .Africa put together -only amounted to 1210,000 tons.
