Under that Act the Minister is tiven absolute power to prevent anv rm whatsoever from operating in the country, and his decision is not subject to challenge on any ground at all. No firm may carry on the meat export business under a penalty of £2OOO, and a contributing penalty of £4OO per day, unless licensed by the Minister. Up to the present only one application for a license has been refused, but the most careful inquiries are being made in various quarters.
