FAIRNESS OF DEMANDS
PRINTING INDUSTRY MR. NASH IMPRESSED (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. A deputation fully representative of the commercial printing and associated industries and of wholesale supply houses to those industries waited on the Minister of Customs, the Hon. W. Nash, yesterday. The Minister commented upon the concise and thorough manner in which the submissions had been prepared and said that ‘he was impressed by the reasonable attitude of the industry in the fairness of its demands for an increased quota of basic materials requisite to its endeavour to maintain production somewhere near the present level.
The submissions tendered would be thoroughly examined by his officers and toy himself and if it were disclosed that the industry had not already been allocated its equitable quotas, he would do his utmost to make provision for further supplies from any additional funds which might become available.
In any case, because of the abnormal price rises overseas in relation to income from the realisation of exported commodities, it would be impossible to pay for the same volume of materials as was imported in 1939. The Minister undertook to reply at an early date.
