Guthrie, Minister in Charge of Imperial Supplies, has communicated" with the North Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Farmers' Union stating that within the last few days the Overseas Shipping Committee had allocated a considerable quantity of space, to Lyttelton and Timaru, inquiries in shipping circles show that this is not the case, at any rate as regards refrigerated tonnage.
