NEW ZEALAND MEAT.

‘ STATEMENT BY SIR T. MACKENZIE By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. LONDON, Dec. 2. Sir Thomas Mackenzie (High Commissioner for New Zealand), speaking at Stafford, said that the New Zealand farmer accepted low prices for his produce to help the British consumer. After much pressure moat was now being sold in England at prices approximating to the cost, but this was not the case with wool gnd butter. The stores and the docks were congested with wool and other produce. Space was not available for New-Zealand meat, and ships were delayed. This was a condition of affairs, Sir Thomas Mackenzie said, they had been promised would not occur. He had made constant representations to the Home Government. The New Zealand authorities were greatly dissatisfied at the lack of ships and storage.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
