CONSUMPTION OF MILK
NEW ZEALAND LAGGING LONDON, March 18. “ Great Britain and New Zealand have the unfortunate distinction of consuming the smallest quantity of milk per capita of population,” said Lord Blcdisloe, in the House of Lords, during a debate on the more extensive provision of milk for school children. He added that as a result of his personal inquiry among medical staffs in New Zealand hospitals, he came to the conclusion that about 35 'per cent, of the inmates were there owing to malnutrition in childhood. There were undoubtedly more milk producers in Britain than three or four years ago. The dominions, especially New Zealand, were being blamed for the glut, but the dominions must live. Difficulties would inevitably arise unless it was made economically possible for New Zealand to meet service loans.
