MEAT RESTRICTIONS
Some Temporary Classes
One criticism levelled at the Government regarding the restriction of meat classes for freezing when the question was debated in the House of Representatives yesterday was that great hardship would be caused to pis; breeders and high-country runiiolders by the sudden exclusion of baconcr pigs and wethers. Opposition opinion' was evidently strong on the exclusion of wethers, as there were a number of questions asked by way of interjection when the Minister of Finance (Mr. Nash) was speaking. The Minister of Marketing: had stated earlier that the restrictions had been forced on the industry, but he was sure that
as soon .as
the position was re-
arranged it would be possible to take wether mutton into the freezing works. He expressed the opinion that a delay of a month or more would not create any undue hardship. When air. Nash was questioned, he reminded the House that the Minister of Marketing had said that wethers would be taken later, and added the assurance that all first-class meat would be stored first and thai the remaining' storage space would be filled with inferior grades.
