MEAT FOR BRITAIN.
WHERE STAND DOMINIONS? London, Sept. 11. The representative in England of the Australian Meat Council, Mr. A. R. Hassan, speaking at a farewell tendered to the Queensland Commissioner to the Wembley Exhibition, Mr. A. J. Joyce, urged the other State® to follow Queeiiisland’s example and pass a Meat Industry Encouragement Bill. Australian meat, he said, was in a comparatively hopeless position because of the absence of co-ordinated and intelligent effort at the marketing end, and the Meat Council was unable fully to function. The meat industry was dying and action maist be taken ptromptly. On the Empire’s one years’ meat consumption there was a difference between the price paid to the grower and the price the consumer paid of £136,600,000, equal to 7d a lb. Where did the money go? Wihen the Meat Council functioned it would be its duty to find out.
