IMPORT CONTROL
Post-War Continuance At this week’s meeting of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce. Council, Mr. Frank Wilson, vice-president, drew attention to what appeared to be a somewhat fatalistic acceptance that import control would inevitably continue after the war. ‘‘The Minister of Industries and Commerce is reported to have stated that import control would be part of the Government’s peacetime policy,” said Mr. 'Wilson.
There was a danger today of sectional interests more or less condoning and accepting import control, he added. In a democratic country this was a narrow and short-term outlook, and if permanently adopted would deny both business and the community the right of any choice or selection. Under such conditions the whole background of free enterprise, and with it quality, service, and prices, would he hamstrung. It was resolved to refer the matter to the chamber’s import committee for consideration and report to a later meeting.
