BRISBANE, Feb. 18.-"With
air transport of beef, cattlemen
could expect a drought and get
some return for their beasts be-
fore they die."

manager of Australian National
Airways (Mr. I. H. Grabowski)
said thia at a meeting of the Uni-
ted Graziers' Assoication to-night.

Air Beef Pty. Ltd., which suc-
cessfully transports beef by air
from Glenroy, in the Kimberleys,
to Wyndham, on th« north coast
of Western Australia.
Mr. Grabowski said that in
Queensland there: should be a net-
work of 60 small inland abattoirs
each killing SO beasts a day. Th*
beef should be chilled and flown
to a railhead and put in refriger-
ated carriages.
"We must break away from this
awful idea of centralisation," be
