MEAT EXPORTS TO BRITAIN
170,000 TONS SOUGHT FROM AUSTRALIA
(Rec. 10 p.m.) MELBOURNE. May IL Britain hopes to get 170,000 tons of Australian meat this year, according to the British Food Ministry mission which is here negotiating a new contract. The Under-Secretary to the Ministry (Mr Roscoe Herbert) said this would be "a heartening recovery" toward! the pre-war total of 210,000 tons. Lari year Australia sent Britain only 35,090 tons. Mr Herbert said it was hoped to carry the current negotiations to * point that would make it unnecessary for Australia to send a delegation to London. He added that the oasis for the talks v'ould be the latest production costs. It was Britain's ata to abolish meat rationing and return to • trader basis. This was not possible, he said, until Britain had enough meat to satisfy her reasonable demands.
