MEAT EXPORT TRADE
"LEST 'I'HEY FORGET."
A gentle reproof to producers in administered by Mr. M;. A. Eliott in the New Zealand- Journal' of Science and Technology. He writes :— "In connection with the discontinuance of the 'meftl commandsei,' it is to bo regretted thai many of the producers appear to be adopting a policy of casting about fpr some one to throw stong3 at, and for some one who will come to, their, assistance. When tho 'commandeer' commenced, r.nd for some time afterwards, the - 'producers were quits satisfied with the prices paid for New Zealand meat, wool, butter, cheese, etc., and especially were they thankful for the fmfcnce provided by the Imperial Government —aa well they might be; bui an good as it was discovered that the British Government were making a profit "out of their New Zeaiard purchases a- howl went up from one end of the Dominion to the; other.- They forgot that if it had not besr. i'or the British Government their produce would have been worth practically nothing, and. . this country [ would have been bankrupt."
