Meat Sales To U.S.
Sir, —My attention has been drawn to your issue of February 5, 1963, in which appears an interview with Mr Gordon Hope, New Zealand Commercial Councellor in Washington, who, incidentally, is a very good friend of mine, and an excellent representative for New Zealand. One of his reported remarks was to the effect that mutton was sold as lamb in the United States. Actually, of course, American lamb is, for the most part, a much older animal than the New Zealand product. But lam sure that Mr Hope’s remark about “the five-year-old ewe” was passed in a jocular vein. I wish to point this out, because some of our American friends may not realise that Mr Hope was not being very serious.— Yours, etc., A. P. O’SHEA, General Secretary, Federated Farmers of New Zealand. February 13, 1963.
