ARGENTINE MEAT.

FOOD COMMISSIONS FUTILE SUGGESTION. LONDON", June 1.

Sir Jame3 Connolly, formerly AgentGeneral of West Australia, comments in a letter to the "Times" on the suggestion made by the Food Commission, that the British Government might, in certain circumstances, find it advisable to acquire a controlling interest in the Argentine meat companies.

There is little ground for hope, he says, that such action would lead to an increase in Britain's meat supplies, as the Argentine companies have already practically reached their maximum output. Any additional supplies needed must, Sir James Connolly contends, be found within the British Empire; it should be possible to develop methods of transport or treatment, which would enable Australia to supply the British markets with chilled, as well as frozen meats.

Surely, he adds, it i= in this direction that the Food Commission should look, rather than encourage the idea of investing the taxpayers' money in a South American industry.
