CAMP STOCKS

NO SURPLUS FOR SALE. There have been a lot of applications to the Defence Department for the purchase of building material, clothing, camp equipment, and goods of this sort. The Minister of Defence eaid yesterday that these' applications were evidently based on tho assumption that the. camps and the buildings were going to bo disposed of, and that tho camps wore going to be finally broken up. It was quito possible that these applications arose from tho action of some shopkeepers who had established themselves in tho camps' precincts, on a rent basis. These people, were taking <lown their buildings and selling the material. So far as the Defence Department was concerned thcro would be no sale of building material or of clothing, except of x condemned wastage, for a considerable time to come, or at least until a future policy with regard- to Territorial requirements and 1 training had been decided upon. "We are in the happy position," said the Minister, "of having only such a surplus of clothing and equipment as we can easily absorb into the future requirements of the forces, without recourse to tho wholesale disposal which seems to have taken place in other parts of the Empire.
