OFFICIALS PRAISED
HANDLING OF PRODUCE (By Telegraph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Monday High praise of the way in which New Zealand officials in London handled the Dominion’s primary produce was given by Mr J. M. Fraser, of Dunedin, who returned by the Monowai. The fact that Mr R. S._ Forsyth, the London representative of the New Zealand Meat Board, has been co-opted by the British War Office to help in the distribution in Britain of all meats in the event of war, Mr Fraser said, was evidence of the high regard in which New Zealand’s representative was held. Referring to- wool, Mr Fraser said that due to the introduction of conscription in Britain, there was an increased demand for crossbred types. Considerable advertising was done in America of finished manufactured woollen articles, but while the International Wool Secretariat had available only £50,000 annually, the Rayon people" had ten times that amount.
