Now that the, bad spell Jmml broken they comide/cd Australia yhouldi get tho advantage- of tlie high.; prices. Tho figures of meat afloat from New Zealand" and other places showed an alorminff situation. 'As far as Great Britain was concerned, the position was :being: jeopardised because ships were being msmatod, which meant a .diversion of trade, to. New1 Zrvalandi and the Argentine.^ Mr Tudor thought it .would .be hvst t<) consider local commeice.
