MEAT BOARD’S SUCCESS

STABILISATION OF PRICES VALUE OF REGULAR SHIPMENTS

(THE SUK'S Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, Friday. Championing the Government’s policy in establishing the Meat Control Board, Mr. D. Jones, said in the House of Representatives last evening that regular shipments had given New Zealand such stabilising of prices as no other country possessed, and such as New Zealand had never had before. Shipments of meat were now arriving in London almost with the regularity of trains. As a result of its policy, the Meat Board, which formerly was looked on with suspicion in England, is now regarded in a friendly light. Pursuing a policy of advertising the New Zealand Meat Board was cooperating with the Empire Marketing Board, and this year would be distributing 1,500,00 pamphlets in England. The help of the Empire Marketing Board was better than tariff preference, and was establishing the Dominion produce in the goodwill of overseas consumers.

Further, the board was popularising Dominion meat in America. The first complete shipment of New Zealand meat for the States would soon be leaving these shores.
