DAIRY CONTROL

THE BOARD’S POLICY NOT OPPOSED IN LONDON, REPORTS CONTI. APi CTE'D. (Aust, and N.Z. Cable). Hamilton, Nov. 22. A cablegram, has been received by the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Co. from five leading importers in London who wil Jbe concerned in the handling of by far the great bulk ol the New Zealand dairy output under Control conditions, and who will come into intimate contact with Air J B. pointed by the Control Board, The cablegram reads: "The undersigned are informed mat some mem-bei-k of the Board have cabled informing' j‘ou that all importers, with exception. of Messrs Lovell and Christ*. ma. 4 'find Wilson Sears, show keen Jiokjllity to Mr Wright's management. IF i'd tiiis statement is not in accord wltir'tiie facts. -Messrs Wilson Sears ail'di Lovell's are the only allottees nho are' not''member* ol the New Zealand Importers’ Association, but there is no iMjlhtion that the Association ha s ex’pirdSsed dissatisfaction with All Wrights management. Certainly the undersigned, having bad some years experience of Air A\ right’s capabilities, have full confidence in him.— (Signed) Davidson, RiHanders. Lane. Lovell s, Alills.”

In an interview in reference to the message, Air Dynes I? niton, chan man of directors of the New Zealand Co.op. Dairy Co., said that the cablegram demonstrated beyond all possibility of doubt tile extreme length to which the interests opposed to Control go to misrepresent the position as it exists at the London end. Within the past few week* a very strongly worded cablegram jrom cue Government nominee m London, Air Stronacji Paterson, was “disclosed” by Air Timpanv, in which Air \\ right’s management was condemned, and in which it was stated that the importers handling our produce had no confidence in pim. Such a. message, added Air Fulton, would be sent, one would imagine, only on the. clearest possible evidence that what was stated was a fact. The present cablegram, however, has placed beyond a doubt that what was contained in the Paterson cable was not fact.

AUCKLAND WOOL SALE. GETS A RECORD ENTRY. rPer Press Association) Auckland, Nov. 22. The first wool sale ol the season in Auckland has attracted a scoord entry for a first sale. The number of bales to band totals approximately 17,000 bales. The catalogues for the sate were supposed to close on Saturday, but as flock owners had great difficulty in getting their clips’ shorn owing to wet weather it was decided that brokers Would accept all wool that arri ed during the week-end. The influx of wool was so great that it was impossible to-day to cbta’n more than approximate figures of the annals at the various stores. The sale was fixed for Frida,y but it is practically certain it will start on Thursday' evening to enable all catalogues t« be cleared.

The buyers are due to leave for Christchurch on Friday evening to prepare for the fcale in the southern city on the following Wednesday.
