STORAGE AND AFTER
The statement made by the Prime Minister regarding increased cool storage is reassuring. There is sufficient space, it is stated, to meet adequately any restricted shipping programme as envisaged by Lord Woolton. That disposes of the most urgent problem, and will permit killing to proceed in an orderly and normal way. There remain, however, questions of finance and ultimate disposal of stored meat. Finance can be arranged so that producers shall not be embarrassed,' and probably this question is already receiving attention. The ultimate disposal of stored foodstuffs is part of the big post-war problem of restoring order in a disordered world. New Zealand cannot solve the problem alone, but she can make her contribution to the solution, and, as Mr. Poison urges, attention should be given now to that question. There will be markets for accumulated supplies in those countries that have been despoiled by the Nazi "new order," and the solution that would be most satisfactory would be one enabling the demand of these territories when they are liberated to be met from the surpluses awaiting distribution.
