N.Z. BUTTER PURCHASE.
A PENALTY ON LOYALTY
SIR T. MACKENZIE’S VIEWS
Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.
(Received Nov. 7. 7.45 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 6. At a luncheon given by the Cold Storage and lee Association, Mr. John War die, Government Director of Cold Storage, said the cold storage capacity of the United Kingdom was being increased to forty million cubic feet. They had already, arranged for new space costing' about half a million sterling. Sir Thomas Mackenzie, who presided, said it seemed strange, that in the sale of produce loyalty should furnish a handicap while blatant disloyalty commanded a premium. The New Zealand dairymen got 17 pence per lb for their butter, while the price of Irish butter was nearly double that. Overseas people were willing to sell at low prices if the consumer got the benefit, but were indisposed to see the profit going into the pockets of those who were not consumers.
