BRITAIN’S SHORTAGE OF MEAT
HOME PRODUCTION 400,000 TONS DOWN
EFFECT OF WAR SACRIFICES MOW FELT
(By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (10.30 a.m.) LONDON, April 23. The Minister of Food, Mr. J. Strachey, at a luncheon of the New Zealand Meat Producers’ Board, said the gap in Britain’s meat supplies lay in home production and the shortage had not been caused by the failure of the exporting- countries to supply meat. “We are 400,000 tons short in home-meat production because, as part of our war effort, we deliberately sacrificed our production. That is why we have had these difficulties of distribution, qualities and quantities of meat ag-ainst which criticism has been levelled.”
