BRITAIN'S MEAT SUPPLIES
COMMITTEE'S REPORT. CONTINUATION OF CONTRACTS. A SELF-SUPPORTING EMPIRE. (Australian and N.Z. Gable Assn.) LONDON, Dec. 13. Tiie Committee on Meat Supplies has issue-i a report, which states that the probable quantities of meat that can be shipped in 1921 will be 1,871,000 tons in 254 steamers, of which 480,000 tons will J>e from Australasia in 132 steamers.and 847,000 tons from South America in 69 steamers. The committee received proposals that the contracts with Australia and New Zealand should be extended long enough to cover the reconstruction pcrio-V, but it was decided not to proceed with the consideration of this plan in the absence of any evidence that the Dominions wanted the contracts maintained. The committee thinks that as far as mutton and lamb are concerned, the Empire will become self-supporting within a few years, but it must be dependent on South America for the bulk of its beef imports for a considerable time.
