STILL HOLDS TO HIS VIEWS

IBy Telegraph— Per Press Association)

WELLINGTON, Oct. 16. In reference to a London cable cha? lenging his remarks concerning the handling of New Zealand meat i.n Lon don Dr. Chappie, M.P for Stirlingshire, who is now in Wellington, states: — "I do not describe what I •dp not see, and I do not exaggerate what Ido see. I went there and saw for myself what I described, and the evidence of one man, who sees a thing- is worth the evidence of a dozen who do not see. Accompanied byMr W. D. Lysnar (Mayor of Cisborno) and Mr J. C. Field! of Gisborne, I visited the barges ..t 'he Albert docks, and saw- what I clescribed. I reiterate that the -ondition of the barges was, bad, and the Urges are entirely unsuitable from thci-r condition, and from the delay in transit up th c river which varies- from 24 hours on ordinary days to 48 hours when Sunday intervenes.
