AT HIGH PRESSURE
INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY MACHINERY MANUFACTURE (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Thursday Although the impact of war conditions was undoubtedly making itself felt in the commercial life of the pation, no effort was being spared still further to increase production, to enable a greater supply to be made available for normal needs, said the Minister of Industries and Commerce, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, in a statement to-day. All units of the woollen trade were working at maximum pressure. Hatmakers and millinery establishments reported good, steady business. Factories were being kept busy, and it was gratifying to note that orders were being placed for the manufacture of machinery which under normal circumstances would have been placed overseas.
“I am sure, despite all the difficulties that exist, that the work now being undertaken will be expanded still further and developed when we have won the war,” said the Minister. “That is the task to which all our energies are being devoted.”
