SCHOOL STATIONERY SCARCE
RELIEF UNLIKELY FOR SOME TIME An unprecedented dearth in the supply of stationery for school children is at present beirg experienced. Such i^ems as exercise books and text books are in very short supply and there is little likelihood of any relief for some time. "The situation at present is worse than at any time during the war," said one retailer this mornirg. "All our orders for stationery have been turned down by every firm in New Zealand. They can neither supply immediate demand" or take orders €or the beginning of next year." He added that- he tliought that the proposed increase in wages had some relation to the position, and that manufacturers would seek a review offithe priees from the Price Tribunal. Ple added that he also suspected that some firms were holding what supplies fchey had pending such a decision.
