LONDON, 2nd December
Sir Thomas Mackenzie (High Commissioner for New Zealand),, speaking at Stafford, said that the New Zealand farmer accepted low prices for his produce to help the British consumer. After much pressure, meat was now being sold in England at prices approximating th© cost, but that was not the case with wool and butter. The stores and docks were congested with wool and other produce, space was not available for New Zealand meat, and ships were delayed. This was a condition of affairs, Sir Thomas Mackenzie said, that they had been promised would not occur. He had made constant .representations to the Homo Government. The New Zealand authorities were greatly dissatisfied at tho lack of ships and storage.
