GOVERNMENT MEAT SHOPS.
New Zealand Wi! Establish Retail

New Zealand viii Establish, Retail
Stores In United Kingdom.
The most radical step ever taken by
government to foster home industry
by going into the field of trade COM
petition is proposed by New Zealand,
The originator of many industrial and
socialistic novelties.
The Australian governments have al
ready gone great way toward helping
the disposal of their products. But
now the prime minister of New Zea-
land has undertaken to buy that coun-
trys frozen mutton and other products
Of the farms and ranges of Maoriland.
to ship them to England and to estab-
lish retail stores throughout the Unit
ed Kingdom for the sale and distribu-
tion of the products SO purchased.
The government has figured out the
cost of brokerage and whosesale profits
after the colonial merchants have TAX
en- their share. 1t purposes to wipe
these out. and also all retail profits ex-
cept that which covers the handling of
the goods-all for the sake of booming
the trade in New Zealand farm pro-
duce.
Criticism of this undertaking is wide
spread outside of New Zealand, and
general anxiety is felt as to what the
British government will do about it
when an attempt is made to carry out
the plan.
at means" says the National Pro-
visioner, that in the competition the
British retail, wholesale and produce
commission merchants will go down or
raise such hue and cry as to set the
official dogs of war on the plan. But
how can the mother country spank her
child at time when Mr.. Chamberlain
Is cultivating the silken tariff tie with
the integral parts of the empire?'
ut is government against govern
ment. The merchant government does
not bother about the British tradesmen
who are wiped from the field. New
