MACHINE TOOLS
SHORTAGE IN AUSTRALIA AS IN OTHER COUNTRIES. BUT TRAGIC BOTTLENECK DENIED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 9.35 a.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. While admitting that Australia, in common with every other country, including Britain and the United States, is facing a general shortage of machine tools and skilled labour, Senator Mcßride, Minister of Munitions, denied that there was a tragic bottleneck in Australian munitions production. He pointed out that from the slender foundations which existed before the war Australia had built up a machine tool industry covering fifty firms who already had made available deliveries worth £2,500,000. Senator Mcßride said a recent British visitor had reminded him that Australia’s present output of munitions was approximately a quarter of that of the United Kingdom immediately before the war, when rearmament had already commenced.
