A Reader Reflects on Turtle Soup

KECENTLY is was reported from Kenya that a Commander, Harold G. Lewis, had recently opened a turtle-catching business there and

had just shipped the first consignment of 22 tons of turtle meat to a Lon don firm of soup makers.

Although a very seasonal business, there seems to be possibilities for a similar business in certain parts of the Pacific—the meat being pro

cessed and the soup canned in Islands for local European consm tion. After all, soups imported fi Australia and New Zealand sell!

high prices quite readily.
