COLD STORAGE.
—-—-4 VALUE TO THE EMPIRE. TRIBUTE TO SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION. BY CABLE— PRESS ASSOCIATION— COPYRIGHT ' (Received Oct. 19, 9.30 a.m.) I '. ■ f m LONDON, Oct. 18. I Sir Joseph Cook and Sir James Allen were the principal guests at the autumn dinner of the-British Cold Storage and Ice Association. Sir Joseph Cook, responding to the1 toast of "Empire Refrigerated Com- ■■ meree^" said refrigeration had a vital relation to Empire development". There was better business obtainable within Empire than anywhere outside.^ The Dominions spend ten times as much in the Old Country as any foreign country. Instead of taking meat from the ' Argentine, butter from Denmark, and j apples from the United States, he ap-1 pealed to the English consumers to ob-' tain such products within the Empire. Sir James Allen, in proposing the toast of the "Cold Storage and Ice Industry," referred to the miraculous development of the industry, which had now reached the interesting stage wherein the producers were compelled to bend their energies to production in meat and fruit transportable by cold storage overseas so as it will arrive in a condition acceptable to the English consumer. He paid a tribute to the services rendered cold storage by scientific investigators. " He knew of no • field of investigation offering greater promise.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
