MEAT FOR BRITISH ARMY
TENDERS INVITED IN AUSTRALIA. A fresh opportunity for manufacturers of preserved meats in Australia, to tender for British Army supplies has been presented by the invitation of ‘the W’ar Office for tenders for 1,080,000 12oz tins of corned beef. Apparently, in view of the placing of the last contract for 1,000,000 tins with an American firm and the pointed and emphatic protests made against this departure from Imperial preference for the sake of cheapness (says an Australian exchange), the British authorities are anxious to retrieve the bad impression made in official, and commercial circles. The placing of the second contract will afford British- authorities an excellent opportunity of exercising a little imagination and recipiocily towards the sentiment of preference'for British goods, -as manifested in the Dominions.
