MEAT INDUSTRY
AUSTRALIAN CASE FOR BRITISH SUBSIDY. Cable message announcing the intention of the British Government to allocate £1,000,000 to assist in marketing Australian products have been read with intense interest by producers in New South AA r aJes. Air. A. G. Manning, M.P., the newly-elected chairman of the Australian Aleat Council, is of opinion that one avenue in which a portion of this fund could be used to benefit the meat industry would be the subsidising of meat exporters to put them on the same level as the Argentine. The ocean freight on beef from the Argentine is fd per lb on chilled beef, and 10 per cent, less on frozen. Australian ocean freights are Id on beef, except from where it is 1-Jd ; lld on mutton, and lfd per lb on lamb. “If the British Government were to do this.” said Mr. Manning “it would remove the disability under which the Australian meat trade suffers at present.”
