REFRIGERATED SPACE

CANTERBURY'S PREDICAMENT

(Per Press Association.)

CHRtSTCHURCH, April 9. At a meeting of farmers to-day, convened tk> consider the refrigerated shipping apace shortage, the following motion wan carried: —

"Tliis meeting of Canterbury farmers desires to bring before the Government the urgent need of prompt action to relieve the present space problem. Canterbury is suffering from a serious drought, and unless fat lambs are lulled in the next three weeks, Uic loss to Canterbury would be serious. We are advised that butter and cheese are given preference, but we consider the Government should put meat first, in spite of the Home controller. We suggest that the Corinthic, coming to Lyttelton on April 22nd, should load meat entirely from Tjyttelton. This would materially relieve the position."'
