MEAT ALLOTMENTS.
QUESTION OF AUCKLAND'S SHARE
(BT TKLEORAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
AUCKLAND, -21st January.
A telegram with reference to the meat space allotments for Auckland has been received from the Prime Minister by Major Lusk, vice-president of . the Farmers' Union. Mr. Massey states that he lias consulted the Overseas Shipping Committee, and that it has now been arranged for the Corinthic,to take 2000' more carcases than was intended, also that the Tainui (which had not been going to call at Auckland) would load 12,000 carcases here'on or about 28th January. It had been hoped, he adds, that the Indrapura, shortly due at Auckland, wouid.be able to load* frozen meat simultaneously with her unloading operations^ but this was not now possible. "This means," said Major Lusk, "that we are to have space for 16,500 carcases instead of 2500 carcases, but even so we are getting much less than our share. Auckland has not been treated fairly in the past, and we cannot stand that for ever."
