Government Blamed
For High British Meat
LONDON, Dec. 20—The British
Incorporated Society of Meat Im
porters blames the government for
the present high cost of meat in
England. The society states that the
storage warehouses of the United
Kingdom are full and that there is
no storage space left for cargoes of
frozen meat now arriving at the rate
of 60,000 tons a month.

ernment is the holder 1 and only seller
of this meat that keeps it at its pres
ent exorbitant price,” declared the so
ciety.
