REFRIGERATION

VALUE TO THE EMPIRE BRITAIN SHOULD GIVE PREFERENCE TO DOMINIONS. AIR MASSEY’S VIEW. Bv Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association (Received October 30, 9.10 .p.m.) LONDON, October 29. Sir Gordon Campbell presided at a dinner given hy the British Cold Storage Association, at which Mr W. F. Massey was tho principal guest. Responding to the toast of “Refrigeration and the Empire,” Air Massey emphasised that if the people of Britain fed on meat from the Empire, instead of foreign meat, there would be moro employment in Britain, because every shilling spent in the oversea parts of the Empire meant increasing markets for British goods. The permanent remedy for t.he present unsatisfactory condition of affairs in Britain was to people the overseas dominions with British folk, who would produce raw materials and food, and buy Britishmanufactured goods.

Mr Massey remarked that at no previous Conference had he seen such a desire as at present on the part of tho representatives from overseas to help the Motherland out of her present trouble.
