HOARDING DENOUNCED
CRIME AGAINST COMMUNITY. MINISTER’S OBSERVATIONS. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH. This Day. Addressing the New Brighton R.S.A., of which he is a life member, on Saturday night, the Minister of Supply, Mr Sullivan, described hoarding as a crime against the communi Iy. The problems of the future, Mr Sullivan said, would be more acute than anything this country had yet experienced, and the civil population would have to make many sacrifices of goods they were accustomed to, but which were now required for war purposes, or perhaps factories would be required for more immediate war purposes. Hoarding was a crime against the community and should be resisted and discouraged by everybody. Hoarding was a kind of cannibalism and good citizens, understanding that, would not be guilty of it. Those who indulged in panic buying and hoarding deprived others, including women and children, of their fair and proportionate share of goods available and compelled to resort to rationing.
