"WHY NOT SAY SO?"
MR. NASH'S SILENCE
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
DUNEDIN, This Day,
A leading importer, interviewed this morning, stated that his firm had no trouble in getting licences for urgent raw material, but importers felt that Mr. Nash had not been frank. It was known that Customs officers had definite instructions which, if published, would let importers. know their position. That was the main complaint, for the measure itself would prevent not infrequent "booming and busting." Secrecy, however, made the whole thing *look like a panic measure, and it would restore confidence if JMr. Nash's "hush" policy was abandoned. It was understood that the intention was to apply quotas which would.cut back imports to the extent of 20 or 25 millions; why not say so?
