Australia Does Not Fill Ships
(Rec. 11.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. A shipping company executive revealed that Australia had not been able to provide enough food for Britain to fill the shipping space allotted to it.
The deficiency was 8,000,000 cubic feet, but this cargo space was not lost to Britain.
Thirteen ships which could have loaded in Australia if food had been available had been diverted to New Zealand during February, March and April. New - Zealand reports were that all surplus space could be filled with additional meat and other food, and so far this had been carried out. The shipping executive claimed that there had always been more space than was required for food available in Australia for export in Britain.
