in Australia available for export IS

of which is not available to Europe
on account of short shipping and will
probably filter into this market on

Administrator Bicknell considers that
this information is significant and
should be thoroughly appreciated by

We owe this to our own country now
when II is at war, and to our allies
who need all the food we can get 10
them. The percentage of loss in send
