DOMINION’S PRODUCE
EFFICIENTLY HANDLED IN LDNDON MIN. M. FRASER'S TRIBUTE [Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, August 21. High praise for the way in which New Zealand officials in London handled the Dominion’s primary produce was given by Air J. M. Fraser, of Dunedin, who returned on the Alonowai. The fact that Air R. S. Forsyth, London representative of the New Zealand Meat Board, had been co-opted, by the British War Office to help in the distribution in Great Britain of all meats in the event of war, Mr Fraser said, was evidence of the high regard in which New Zealand’s representative was held. Referring to wool, he said that, due to the introduction of conscription in Great Britain, there was an increased demand for cross-bred types. Considerable advertising was done in America of finished manufactured woollen articles, but. while the International Wool Secretariat had available only £50,000 annually, the rayon people had 10 times that amount.
