FOOD COMMODITIES
MEAT, SUGAR, AND BUTTER IN SYDNEY. (Received June 23, 10.45 a.m.) ■ LONDON, 22nd June. At the nexfc meeting of Cabinet, the Chief Secretary (Mr. G. Black) presents a scheme for the establishment of a State meat shop, to supply the public with meat at a cheap rate. In the Assembly, the Attorney-Gen-eral (Mr. D. R. Hall) stated that he had made enquiries as to the cost of importation of sugar, and found that he could import black labour sugar at £22 per ton, but he preferred to keep the Colonial Company's employees at work at a cost of an extra 30s per ton. Mr. Bagnall alleged that the butter shortage had been deliberately produced by over-exportation. The export of butter was more than double that of the previous year. He suggested a special Council of Ministers to deal with the food problem.
