REJECTED MEAT SHIPMENTS
Canterbury Chamber Criticism
The rejection of meat by authorities in the United States after it had been exported from New Zealand—rejection which was not explained by those authorities—was a serious national matter, said Mr R. C. Neville, a member of the council of the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce at a meeting last evening. This rejection should be investigated at a Government level, he said.
So far as knew, the Department of Agriculture did not regard the rejection as anything which shoul ’ interest it and held that any inquiries necessary should be made by the exporters themselves, said the chairman (Mr W. G. V. Fernie). An investigation should be held, said Mr Neville, to give an explanation which would “clear the name of the country—not just the name of ttr exporter.” It was a reflection on New Zealand and the banning had been given widespread publicity, he said.
The council decided to refer the matter to its rural affairs committee and instruct it to act as it thought fit.
