imperious source 4 4 4 4 4 Is there glut of food iu the country It is alleged nud Oh- been tacitly admitted that the Uovert-inent hold enormous stocks of beef and mutton bacon and the other

quantities of nnd urging that the Government be called upon to take immediate action for its release Mr Buckingham as chairman said the Board quite agreed with the prot- st if they could be sure these stocks were in existence There is absolutely no doubt of it It is no longer a question of shipping since the food is in cold storage In this sume of it so Img bacoo fi example that the admission has been made iu Parliament of vast quantities of bacon being sold for soaprauking Now if bacon goes wr eg despite abuudaut saltage what shout fresh meat 1 am glad to see that the Guardians decided to
