THE FREEZING INDUSTRY
Describing the meat freezing position at the present moment as tragic, Mr. A. P. O'Shea, secretary of the New Zealand Farmers' Union, said the Government and the Meat Board had appealed to farmers to put more weight on their lambs, and most of them had loyally tried to do no. However, with the shut-down of the works over the Christmas period and the stoppages which had occurred since then, it looked as if a large number of lambs were going to be lost. As a result of the dry weather, lambs which should have been killed and had not been killed were going back seriously in condition.
"It is quite obvious that labour will have to be diverted to the freezing industry and that stoppages will have to cease, otherwise New Zealand can justly be accused of letting Britain down," said Mr. O'Shea.
