SPEED URGED
IN ESTIMATING IMPORT REQUIREMENTS
UNDER NEW CONDITIONS.
STATEMENT BY COMMISSIONER
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. This Day
The Commissioner of Supply (Mr F. R. Picot) today drew attention to the necessity for urgency in the matter of import programming, and assured importers that the short time available for the completion of returns was dictated by conditions recently imposed by overseas authorities. Programme licensing was a recent development, ho said, thrust upon us and it was necessary to make forward estimates of our requirements, so that New Zealand could establish a claim to share in United States production in terms of the controlled materials plan. Mr Picot added that the programming of forward requirements had been an established feature of overseas production and the Ministry of Supply had been meeting these requests as they arose. As a result, however, ol this very recent programme licence innovation, the position now was that, except for some non-critical items, all our needs must be programmed forthwith if we were to secure the release of outstanding orders and establish a claim upon overseas planned production.
