DEPARTMENT OF IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT SUPPLIES. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS COVERING THE PERIOD FROM THE 1st APRIL, 1920, TO THE 31st MARCH, 1921, INCLUDING AN APPENDIX SHOWING RESULTS TO 31st AUGUST, 1921.

Laid on the Table of the House of Representatives by Leave.

g IE Wellington, 31st August, 1921. I Lave the honour to submit a review of the operations of the Department of Imperial Government Supplies from the Ist April, 1920, to the 31st March,. 1921. The Department commenced its operations on the 3rd March, 1915, its duties covering the control of the various contracts for purchase of produce by the Imperial Government, including frozen meat, wool, sheep-skins, hides, butter, cheese, frozen and canned rabbits, scheelite, and such other individual contracts as were from time to time made by the Imperial authorities with New Zealand producers. In addition to the work undertaken on behalf of the Imperial Government, the Department has carried out work on behalf of the New Zealand Government, including the purchase of butter and cheese for use in camps and on transports, the internal arrangements in connection with the sale and shipment of kauri-gum, the accounts in connection with the original purchase of wheat from the Australian Government, and the administration of the Butter Equalization Funds. During the year the remaining contracts for purchase of produce on behalf of the Imperial Government terminated at the following dates :— Frozehjneat .. • • • - 30th June, 1920. Cheese .. • • • • ..

FROZEN MEAT. The revised schedule of prices agreed to in October, 1916, by the Imperial Board of Trade and the freezing companies concerned remained operative until the termination of the contract at 30th June, 1920. A great effort was made by the Imperial authorities during the year to relieve the congestion existing in New Zealand freezing-stores so as to allow free operations to be carried on by freezing companies under normal conditions. The sales to American purchasers mentioned in my last report were continued, and from the Ist April, 1920, 2,103,259 carcases lamb and 464,463 carcases lightweight wether mutton were shipped to the United States of America in fourteen steamers. On the Bth October, 1920, the Imperial Government also announced the sale of all beef in quarters, in store and afloat, to Messrs. Vestey Bros. Special arrangements were made for the carriage of this beef, and 388,862 quarters were shipped in six steamers of the Blue Star Line and two chartered steamers. The total quantities of meat shipped from the Ist April, 1920, to 31st March, 1921, were — Beef (quarters) ..

Surplus Wool Profits. The first and second contracts for the purchase of wool by the Imperial Government—namely, for the 1916-17 and 1917-18 greasy clips, provided for the return to New Zealand wool-growers of one-half of the profits made on wool sold for other than military purposes. The third contract, which covered the purchase of the 1918-19 and 1919-20 greasy clips, contained the same provision, with the addition that the same amount per pound of wool would be returned to New Zealand wool-growers as was returned to Australian wool-growers, the sum paid, however, not to exceed the profit actually realized on these New Zealand clips. The accounts to the 31st March, 1919, prepared by the Imperial Government, showed an amount due to New Zealand wool-growers of £1,619,069, and this sum was transferred to New Zealand and was distributed, less cost of distribution and a flat rate of income-tax of 3s. 4d. in the pound, to wool-growers pro rata to the appraised value of the wool of the 1916-17, 1917-18, and 1918-19 clips purchased from each. Of the amount received, £19,644 was set aside to make a similar pro rata payment on wool of the 1916-17 clip forwarded to London for sale prior to the commencement of appraisement in New Zealand of wool of that clip, and purchased in London by the Imperial Government on the same basis as the purchases were made in New Zealand. Later communications from the Imperial authorities show that the proceeds of these consignments were not included in the accounts rendered, and the Imperial Government has agreed to make a further payment on these wools from its own share of profits. The balance of £19,644 has therefore been invested pending any further payment of surplus profits which may accrue for distribution after the liquidation of the unsold stocks of wool. SHIPPING. Very great efforts were made during the year to effect & clearance of the freezing-works before the new season under free trading-conditions commenced. The delay owing to labour troubles in opening the freezing season extended the opportunities for lifting Imperial Government meat, and when the season commenced on the 2nd January, 1921, stocks of Imperial meat in freezing-stores for which shipping-space had not been allocated amounted to only 977,202 freight carcases (60 lb.).

During the months January to March, 1921, it was necessary to devote only 33| per cent, of the insulated shipping-space available to Imperial refrigerated cargo, the balance being filled with free meat and cheese.

' The Committee's work will be completed when the final shipment of Imperial Government produce is made. _ Mr. James Findlay, 0.8. E., New Zealand representative of the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company (Limited), has been chairman of the Committee from its inception, and a great deal of the success of the Committee has been due to his guidance. The New Zealand Government has been represented on the Committee since March, 1915, by the Controller of this Department, or by his Deputy, the Assistant Controller, and the Department has furnished the information regarding the quantities of meat held in" store at the various freezing-works, and the quantities of butter, cheese, and wool available for shipment on the basis of which allocations were undertaken. Produce in Store awaiting Shipment. The following table shows the quantities of meat, cheese, and butter in store and. awaiting shipment on the 31st March for the last six years : —

Administration Costs. The salaries, postages, cables, telegrams, office expenses, rent, stationery, and all other incidental charges connected with the internal administration of the Department since its inception to the 31st March, 1921, have amounted to £85,044 18s. 7d., representing 0-0536 per cent, on total disbursements of £158,576,644, or 12|d. for each £100 of business done. The percentages on the main sections are as follows : Wool, 0-10, or 24d. per £100 ; frozen meat, 0-019, or 4|d. per £100 ; butter, 0-050, or 12d. per £100 ; Cheese, 0-036, or B|d. per £100. STAFF AND ORGANIZATION. It is with deep regret that I have to record the death, on the 12th November, 1920, after a short illness, of Mr. Robert Triggs, who had been Controller from the inauguration of the Department in March, 1915, and who gave of the best of his powers of organization to ensure the success of the work entrusted to the Department. Mr. T. R. Lees, Assistant Controller, was appointed Controller as from the 23rd December, 1920. The termination during the year of the contracts for the purchase of wool, frozen meat, and cheese enabled a 63-per-cent. reduction in staff to be made, the amount paid in salaries being reduced by 81 per cent. The year has been a strenuous one for the , staff, and I desire to express my appreciation of the very efficient and loyal way in which all members, both those who have necessarily retired and those that remain, have carried out their duties. It is satisfactory to record that a large proportion of the retiring members of the staff have received appointments in shipping, freezing, or mercantile houses, where the experience gained in the Department will doubtless prove of great value. The wholehearted assistance and co-operation of Mr. G. C. Smith A.R.A. (N.Z.), Chief Accountant, has contributed largely to the efficiency of the Department, The Department is indebted to the Director-General of Agriculture, and to the Directors and officers of the Live-stock and Dairy Divisions of the Department of Agriculture, for the invaluable assistance which has been freely given during the six-years purchase of the primary products of the Dominion. I am also glad to acknowledge the thoroughness of the continuous audit conducted by the Controller and Auditor-General through a special staff attached to the Department for the purpose. I have pleasure in placing on record the assistance which the Department has received from the cordial co-operation of woolbrokers, freezing and shipping companies and dairy factories, and particularly from Mr. W. S. Bennett, President of the New Zealand Woolbrokers' Association, whose tact and business acumen during negotiations removed many difficulties. I have, &c, T. R. Lees, Controller. The Hon. the Minister in Charge, Department of Imperial Government Supplies.
