IMPORT LICENSES.
EXPIRATION OP PERIOD. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, May 8. The period in respect of which imports may be made under licenses issued for the second licensing period expires on June 30. The licenses were originally issued for the period July-. December, 1939, but were subsequently made valid until June 30 in view of the uncertainty attaching to the date of tlie departure of ships from the United Kingdom and the date of their arrival in New Zealand.
Under existing conditions importers have been in some doubt as to their position in arranging for the shipment of the goods covered by second period licenses, because of the possibility of their not arriving until after June 30. Representations have been made to the Minister of Customs (Hon. W. Nash), who stated to-night that it had been decided to permit-the entry under second period licenses of goods .shipped on vessels scheduled to leave the United Kingdom not later than May 29. Should it happen that the departure of the vessels was delayed beyond the scheduled date and they arrived after June 30 the goods, would nevertheless be admitted.
