London, May 6:

A spokesman for the Canadian Meat Board sald today that Canada will stop loading meat for Britain from about the middle of May or the end of Junc. At the same time, food experts are quoted as saying that the next three months will be the most critical food months of the entire year.

Mr. Silva emphasised that his remarks regarding. the "wonderful memories" of Mok Kuen and Fung, and other witnesses who chose to re- member only those facts which were condemn- atory to the accused, did not carry the slight est accusation against Mr. Charles Mottram, ASP, whom he had always admired as a man of scrupulous fairness.
