THE ANTARCTIC AS A COLD STORE
ITo the Editor] Sir. —New Zealand appears to be faced with a most serious problem with regard to its surplus meat production. I have just been reading an article bv Mr H. A. Seifert in the May edition of the “Financial Times” on the subject. Apparently some £200.000.000 are invested in New Zealand in land, live stock, and plant. In 1940 we shipped 354.000 tons of meat abroad for a return of £21.042.000. or 34 per cent, of our total exports Mr Seiferl estimates that only about half the usual amount will be exported this year. Cheese is wanted in England more than meat at present, according to letters just received. It means that some 200.000 tons of meat will be on our hands, and that our exports will drop by about £IO.OOO 000 from meat alone. seems highly probable, things are likely
