MOTOR IMPORTS
MINISTER AND INDUSTRY NEGOTIATING.
EXTENSION OF ASSEMBLY SOUGHT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Negotiations are progressing between the Minister of Customs and representatives of the motor industry that may have a highly important bearing on the future of the industry in New Zealand. For some little time proposals have been discussed for a reduction in the importation of cars ' and an increase in local assembly operations. The proposed- decrease is not known, but it is rumoured that the interests concerned have been arguing on the basis of a substantia) reduction, possibly as much as forty per cent. Questioned, the Hon W. Nash said today that the Government was anxious to bring into operation proposals that would ensure a maximum manufacture and assembly of motor-cars in the Dominion. “We have been working along these lines,” he said. “but so' far nothing has been completed.”
