PRINTING IMPORTS
Demands Of Industry •’The Pres*“ Special Sennet WANGANUI, April 30. The direct and indirect effects of import restrictions on the printing industry could not accurately be foreseen, but adequate representations would be made to the Government if in the opinion of the Federation of Master Printers of New Zealand, the repercussions on the industry appeared to be unreasonably severe, said the president of the federation (Mr R. E. Worts) in an address to the annual conference of the federation. In 1960, 31.570 tons of newsprint were imported into New Zealand, 16,270 tons of printing and writing paper, 900 tons of paper for the making of envelopes, 3490 tons of cardboard, 740 tons of vegetable parchment, and 1580 tons of greaseproof paper. The value of the newsprint imported was only £1.7 million, and of the printing and writing paper, £2.1 million. “It cannot be said that our industry as a whole makes exorbitant demands on our overseas funds,” said Mr Worts. “In relation to our importance in the community, I suggest our demands are small.”
