CHILLED BEEF
SCOPE FOR DOMINION. A statement on the meat question as affecting New Zealand was made by th||Ac ting-Prime Minister, Et. Hon. J. G.woates, yesterday. “Wo are in daily contact with the High Commissioner, Sir James Parr, and the United Kingdom Government in the meat discussions which are now proceeding in London,” said Mr Coates, “and while it is difficult to cable, the proceedings up to date can be considered as favourable. For example, for the April-June quarter, the New Zealand Government has arranged that the export of chilled beef to the United Kingdom is to be nearly doubled. “The export of chilled beef from New Zealand is as yet only in the experimental stages, but a definite future is indicated. We had secured an allocation of 30,000 cwt. of chilled beef for arrival in the April-Juno quarter. The allocation has now been increased to 56,000 cwt., an indication that the* United Kingdom Government recognise the importance that the chilled beef trade will be to New Zealand.
“The Argentine is the main supplier of chilled beef, which brings up to 2d per lb. more than frozen beef.”
