EXPLANATORY NOTE The foregoing Orders prohibit the slaughter of cattle and the sale of beef and veal until further notice, save under special permit which may be issued to hospitals. It is hoped that this measure which is necessitated by the inter• ruption of cattle supplies will result in a gradual accumulation of stocks and permit a resumption of the sale of beef and veal in a few weeks' time.
