DUXKDIX, Man-h 10. fr^o narrovv marwin oi" salt suppiies on the couiitry's bakehouses wcre operating was connnented on at the annunl conferencc of tlie Xew Zealaiwl Foderation of Bakers and Pastrycooks now sittiiig in Dunedin. There was, it vvas stated, a serious shortage in cer- I taiu parts of Kew Zealand and mes- i sages froin Australia indicated that the I position had deteriorated. The crux of the sit nation was the 25 per cent. reduction in interc-olonial shipping. In faet, the shipping position had aecentuated the shortage to sueh an extent that reeentlv only the arrival of a sliip on which space had been specially alloeated to salt, kept the bakeries operating. '"The departmental otticers conceined apparently don't realise that you cannot eontinue bread manufacture uuless vou have salt," commented oue dele"gate. The matter was left in the hands of the Xew Zealand Couneil for urgent aetion. Lalor in Ihe day a lelegram arrived
froni the Minister of Industries and Commerce (Hon. D. G. Sullivan) stating that importers had advised that the position had been eovered. Shipping, the Minister stated, appeared to be the main problem, but he considered that the position would improve in the future.
