SUPPLY OF WOOLLENS
- ■ •» POSITION IN NEW ZEALAND EFFORTS TO INCREASE PRODUCTION. STATEMENT BY MR SULLIVAN. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. This Day. “New Zealand has never been selfsupporting in supplies of woollen yarns and lately we have been drawing some supplies from Australia," said the Minister of Industries and Commerce (Mr Sullivan) today. "The position outlined in a cablegram from Australia is known to the Government. Arrangements have been in train for some time designed to increase. not only our domestic production of yarns, but also our production of woollen piece goods and blankets in order to minimise any shortage that may develop. The future action of the Government will depend on what success is attained in an effort to increase production. The woollen mills today are supplying large quantities of piece goods, underwear, socks and blankets for the armed forces, in addition to the maintenance of our most essential civil needs-. They are endeavouring to provide a small quota of materials for the needs of the Imperial and Allied forces."
