NEW ZEALAND MEAT
WAR OFFICE CONTRACTS AND EMT'IRE PREFERENCE
In the matter of War Office contracts and till public meat contracts, the London manager of the New Zealand Meat Producers Board is continually pressing on the authorities the importance of preference to overseas parts of the Empire. Some mouths ago the War Office, in calling lor tenders for a supply oi beet tor army purposes, amended the conditions ol their contract form by asking for quotations for ‘‘British Dominions and or South American at the contractors option.” The effect of this alteration was to absolutely cancel any pro-h.-renec to the British Dominion;;, and the .Meat Board's London manager made a strong protest against the change. It is now pleasing to note from conditions of contracts received bv the last mail from London that the War Office* has reverted to the previous custom oi asking lor quotations u-nlv for Lr.lish Diucnii'n .meat and South American. Evidently the protest made by the Board's London m .linger has had some effect.
