 see that Sir Henry Rew, the well-known food statistician, 

 agrees with my view. In a recent address before the Royal 

 Statistical Society, he said : lt It appears that during the war 

 a very substantial stimulus has been given to overseas trade 

 in meat, and that sources of supply hitherto almost untapped 

 have been developed. It is clear that what may be termed the 

 old reservoirs from whence meat supplies have been drawn are 

 expanding and are capable of further expansion. There are 

 also new and vigorous competitors for the world's trade." 



Refrigerated tonnage after Peace is signed will be more than 

 ample for all requirements, notwithstanding the submarines. 

 Great Britain had more refrigerated tonnage at the end of 

 last year than she had at the beginning of the war, and it 

 must also be remembered that Italy, France, the United 

 States, and other countries are building up quite a big fleet of 

 refrigerated steamers.
