RUSSIAN BUTTER
DISCUSSION ABOUT BOXES THE POSITION EXPLAINED Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, August 4. (Received August 5, at 9.15 a.m.) “ Why this fuss about the Soviet imitating New Zealaud butter boxes?” asks Mr H. E, Davis, of tho New Zealand Dairy Producers’ Association. He said that Ukraine butter had been packed m exact replicas .of the New Zealand cases, but that was not misleading to anyone. When the Soviet began exporting, experts investigator the methods of butter packing in London, and recommended the adoption of New Zealand cases and grading as the best. The Soviet slavishly followed the dominion’s methods, even to tho shape of tho marks. The Smolny’s consignment did not differ from previous shipments. Mr Norton, of the Australian Dairy Board, agreed that it was absurd to accuse the Soviet of disguising its butter as New Zealand butter. Russia had no need of trickery to gain a market. There were 200,000 cases of Siberian butter in cold storage, which was reducing prices.
