CLOTHING FOR CIVILIANS
INCREASED SUPPLIES STATEMENT BY MINISTER (P.S.S.) AUCKLAND, May 12, A statement that, resulting from a revision of the military programme, additional loom space for the weaving of essential civilian clothes should be made available during the current six months, is made by the Minister of Supply (the Hon. D. G, Sullivan), in a letter to a Matamata draper. Efforts have been made, Mr Sullivan writes, to release through the normal trading channels a greater quantity ot navy and grey flannel for school wear. This supply, together with civilian flannels being manufactured by the New Zealand mills, should meet demands for the present year. A source of supply is also being sought in Australia.
