Meat and shipping controls in wartime trade clash
Mr. Runciman said the board of trade could handle about 50 million pounds sterling in 12 months as France trusts the board to supply meat. He noted Argentine supply is concentrated among a few powerful firms and that Britain used requisitioned ships to move beef, with Australia storing meat at cost as Britain and France face shortages. He concluded Britain would not back down while wheat outlook stays favorable and referenced Dumba letters misattributed to Arthur Meeker.
