—Press Association.)
(Bj Telezraph
WELLINGTON, Last Night. "The federation notes that the Prime Ifinister is not yet in a position to make the statement promised of the procedure to be followed for safeguaxding New Zealand industries," says a staiement by the New Zealand Manufacturers' Federation issued to-day, The statement reviewed the federation 's approaches to the Prime Minister and the Ministers of Industries and Commerce and of Customs since 1935 for protection and said that the manufacturers were apprehensive over the knowledge that orders were going overseas whick previously had been handled by New Zealand factories. The federation asked for protection from a situation which must follow the Government's labour legislation. "The unemployment predicted by the federation has come to pass," the statement says, "but the safeguaTding measuxes promised by the Government have not. A most unfortunate aspect of the situation is that industry cannot indefinitely continue to carry workers who have been retained in the expectation of the Prime Minister's fulfilment Of his nndertakings.
