PRIVATE IMPORTERS' ORDERS
ATTITUDE OF AUTHORITIES IN U.S.A. “There is evidence that the United States authorities require a continually increasing amount of information as to the possibility of using substitute materials before many privately lodged orders can be fulfilled and export made to such countries as New Zealand." This is stated by Mr L. J. Schmitt, secretary of supply, in a letter to the New Zealand Manufacturers’ Federation, a copy of which has been received by the Canterbury Association. “Recently,” the letter adds, “advice was given to the Ministry by the Office of Production Management, U.S.A., that in future all preference rating applications for very critical materials such as copper, nickel, and brass, will be submitted to the commodity group concerned, irrespective of value, before any ratings are assigned. "It seems, therefore, that in the interests of manufacturers and importers generally, where the use of a critical material is involved, the applicant applying for support should in all cases give justification for use of such material, covering the question of substitutes.” ■ 1
