FOOD FOR BRITAIN
PRESERVED SUPPLIES
AUSTRALIAN PLANNING
(Rec, 1.5 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day.
New secondary industries are being planned to enable Australia to supply Britain with canned meat, sausages, bacon, meat concentrates, and dried eggs.
The Minister of Commerce (Sir Earle Page) said that these industries would help to dispose of primary products which were banking up in Australia because of the shipping shortage.
Australia's war-time agricultural policy had been formulated in consultation with other Empire countries, particularly New Zealand. Its objectives were to provide the maximum aid for Britain on the vital food front, and to guarantee the security and stability of Australian primary industries, so that their productive capacity could be maintained.—U.P.A.
