SHORTAGES
Sir, —Never again will the people of this Dominion see goods in adequate supply—unless a drastic change occurs. Let us, face the facts. There is scarcely one article which can be mentioned of which we are not short. Right throughout the country, bins and shelves are empty; and there is no hope of ever filling them again because we are not even producing sufficient for normal requirements, let alone enough to catch up the deficiency ana provide a surplus. We have experienced man-made depressions, man-made wars, but this manmade shortage of goods, whilst the banks are bursting with money, seems to be utterly ridiculous. As every man, woman and child is interested in the problem, would, one or both of the candidates for the Avon seat care to express their views, in this column, as to how we are to get out of the impasse?—Yours, etc., P CONCERNED. May 6, 1947.
