EMPIRE MEAT SUPPLIES
FOREIGN LICENSE SCHEME. [BY CABLE —PBESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Recd. November 7, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, Novembex- 6. The meat markets believe that an early development of the Government Empire economic scheme will be the imposition of a system of restrictive licenses, under which foreign supplies of lamb and mutton will not be allowed to enter Britain until home grown and Empire supplies are exhausted. A world famous foreign meat combine, anticipating Government action, is believed to be attempting to purchase important meat’ works in Australia. Smithfield officials declare that the license scheme would incalculably benefit Australia and New Zealand, now suffering severely from the present demoralisation of markets. Australia House officials declare that Britain, Australia and New Zealand can supply between them the entire British requirements of lamb and mutton.
