FROZEN PRODUCE IN BRITAIN
SIB T.' MACKENZIE'S PROTEST. intEMTUM ON BLATANT DIS- • LOYALTY. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright Australian and NZ. Cable Association. LONDON, November 6. (Received Nov. 7, at 7.45 p.m.) At a luncheon given by the Cold Storage and Ice Association, Mr John Wardle, Government Director of Cold Storage, said the cold storage capacity of the United Kingdom was being increased to 40,000,000 cubic feet. He had already arranged for new space costing about £500,000. Sir Thomas Mackenzie, who presided, said it seemed strange that in the sale of produce loyalty should furnish a while blatant disloyalty commanded a premium. New Zealand dairymen had got 17d per lb for butter, while the price of Irish butter was nearly double that. Thft overseas people were willing to sell at low prices if the consumer got the benefit, but were not disposed to see the profit going into the pockets of those who were not consumers.
