Canadian High Cont- missioner and Chief Inspector in Bri- tain of the rtment of Agriculture, were able to present a vigorous defence, backed up by indisputable evidence for- warded from Canada by the Chief of the Dairy Division. It was shown that in Canada the manufacture of margar- ine or "filled" cheese was absolutely prohibited under heavy penalties, and the conditions of manufacture were such that it was impossible for this to happen without the fact coming to the notice of the authorities. The purity of the cheese was admitted and the charge finally dismissed, when it was found that the Canadian contentions were pro- ven by the report of the Government analyst, which showed that the sample in question contained 43 per cent. of milk fat and no foreign fat whatever. tiGused _"-"-"'"--- w“ "e'"-'".? “u; \ruuaulnn "ulcer sold to Japan, but in spite of the war some 34900 pounds have been shipped to that country from the Government creaaneries during the first ten months of this yen.
