HIGH PRAISE
NEW ZEALAND OFFICIALS IN LONDON HANDLING DOMINION'S PRIMARY PRODUCE [United Piess Association] AUCKLAND, This Day. High praise for the way in which New Zealand officials in London handled the Dominion’s primai*y produce was given by Mr J. M. Fraser, of Dunedin, who returned by the Monowai. The fact that Mr R. S. Forsyth, the London representative of the New Zealand Meat Board, had been co-opted by the British War Office to help in the distribution in Britain of all meats in the event of war, Mr Fraser said, was evidence of the high regard in which New Zealand’s representative was held. Referring to wool, he said that, due to the introduction of conscription in Britain, there was an increased demand for crossbred types. Considerable advertising was done in America of the finished manufactured woollen articles, but while the International Wool Secretariat had available only £50,000 annually, rayon people had ten times that amount.
