SUPPLY OP HONEY
Sir, —Your published extract from the “Consumer News" (a new Government publication) is very puzzling. Part of this extract reads: ‘'Families with children should be able to get more honey this year than at any time since early in the war. Unfortunately, New Zealand does not produce enough honey to give everyone a definite monthly ration.” This contrasts strongly with the latest honey pool accounts issued by the Internal Marketing Division, which show that the division sold quantities of honey in London. Why export honey when we need it here? In any case • our honey is obviously hard to sell overseas, as the export pool expenses for 12 months were more than £20.000 and the division’s balance-sheet shows a liability “reserve for honey advertising (London) £14.860” as at March 31, 1944. —Yours, etc., R. FINCH. Oamaru, September 21, 1944.
