DAIRYING INDUSTRY.

COMMITTEE IN LONDON. . TO FURTHER N.Z. INTERESTS. SPECIAL MARKETING CONDITIONS. V WELLINGTON, Friday. A cablegram suggesting that a committee be formed in London to further the interests of New Zealand dairy produce on the British market, was received at a meeting of the Dairy Produce Board to-day. The cablegram, sent by Mr Wright in response to a request, suggested that, subject to approval of the board, an advisory committee should be formed representing all. the London importers, and also the Dairy Board. The committee would meet regularly with a view to joint action being taken to deal with special marketing conditions as they might arise, and to thoroughly explore the possibility of obtaining a wader distribution of New Zealand dary produce by co-operation in publicity and by making provision for greater sales efforts in the northern area of Britain. Corr'espondence from Mr Wright also was considered. This outlined in detail the marketing problem as it was now presented in Great Britain, particularly between Danish and New Zealand butter. It is stated that New Zealand butter was most favourably known in London and the southern areas, .while the stronghold of the Danish butter was the Midlands, the northern counties, and Scotland. Psychological and economic factors governing the marketing position were fully outlined. The board resolved, by nine votes to two, that the proposal for the formation of an advisory committee cmbodyng the London importers and the board’s London manager should be adopted. The minority opposing the resolution did so on the ground that the action proposed was inadequate to meet the.needs'of the situation.
