Antagonistic to Proposed Imports A j acEA^MW—3«H 7HAT?iLiJ The 'footwear industry jp New J&ealand, except for the importing section of it, was 'dfefinite’ly antagonistic to'the proposal announced' hy the' Minister of “ ' Customs (thh 'Hon 1 A. it.' ‘^ordiheyer-), to grant'"'licences for the inijiortatidh into the Dominion of 400,000 pairs of shoes from countries in the ' sterling' area, said the vice-president of the industrial planning' committee of the industry (Mr J. A. East).
The industry claimed that it could meet the demand in the Dominion, and the industrial planning committee, which acted in an advisory capacity to the Beareau of Industry, had made recommendations on these lines. The committee realised that there was a temporary shortage, but considered that the slack would be taken up within the next few months. Approximately 140 operatives would temporarily be lost to the industry for every 100.000 pairs of shoes imported.
