THE MEAT POOL
Mr Charles Elgar, chairman of the Wellington Meat Export Company, who has just returned from England, pretends alarm at the proposals of Mr Massey to pool the meat supplies of the Dominion. Mr Elgar appears to assume that it is intended to do away with the brokers in London and to introduce an entirely new system of marketing. No evidence has yet been produced to warrant such an assumption. The pooling of the supplies may result in a reduction in the number of agents who are handling the meat at the other end. It will not, and cannot, eliminate the middleman. The weakness of the scheme is that it has been devised before arrangements have been made in London to give effect to it. Before the pool was suggested, the whole position in England should have, been investigated and reported upon by experts.
