IMPORT CONTROL
EFFECT ON AMERICAN MOTOR CARS. VISITING BUSINESS MAN'S VIEWS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. “We are naturally disappointed at the import control regulations, but we are willing to contribute our share to the welfare of the country,” said Mr E. E. Thompson, of the Chrysler Corporation, of Detroit, who arrived by the Wanganella from Sydney after spending six months in Australia, where, he said, business conditions were good. The primary object of his visit, which probably would be for some weeks, was to acquaint himself more thoroughly with the import control regulations, and the effect they are likely to have on his company. He criticised the reduction made in the quantity of spare parts that cculd.be brought in. comparing the position with Australia, where' there was a restriction on the importation of cars, but not on parts. This criticism, he added, applied to all machinery parts that could not bo manufactured in New Zealand.
Mr Thompson deprecates incessant talk of war. Continual talk about its inevitability was a danger, he said, as it made people believe in it.
