“You can win the war without butter. but you cannot win it without linen flax, which is used in the construction of aeroplanes,” said a witness in a case heard by the Industrial Manpower Appeal Committee at a sitting in Invercargill. “I went right- through the last war and never saw butter. We had margarine all the time, and were none the worse for it. Linen flax has priority over butter when it conies to shipping. A member of the committee commented : J wish the committee bad some definite directions like that on the question of priority for essential industries. The representatives of essential industries who come before us always claim that they have first priority.”
