DAIRY PRODUCE
SALE TO BRITAIN
"WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY"
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. The opinion that the New Zealand j Government should immediately enter I into negotiations with the British Government, for the sale of the whole of the Dominion's surplus butter and cheese at the 1939 price was expressed today by Mr. W. Goodfellow, managing director of Amalgamated Dairies, Ltd., in a statement reviewing the outlook in the light of recent events in Europe.
He pointed out that New Zealand, in consequence of the German invasion of Denmark, had a wonderful opportunity to expand her exports of pork and bacon, since Denmark had been the largest supplier of bacon to Britain and was also a very large supplier of butter. Due to the great misfortune of our Continental competitors, the outlook for New Zealand dairy produce was now thoroughly sound. Mr. Goodfellow emphasised the fact that the outcome of the. war in Europe meant as much and-probably more to the people of New, Zealand than to.the people in any' other part of the Empire. He' was emphatically of the opinion that all sections of the community should sink political differences and work together to assist the Government to. give Great Britain its utmost aid to win the war.
