AGREEMENTS IN INDUSTRY
Avoidance Of Competition (New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, July 7. The pulp and paper industry could possibly “order its ways” as a result of the scrapping of industry licensing by the Government. In this way the companies concerned could agree among themselves the fields each should develop and so avoid uneconomic competition. This “order its ways” suggestion—it is used by the pulp and paper industry in Australia—was made in Auckland today by a spokesman of Forest Products, Ltd. Forest Products was in favour of industry delicensing, he said. The system had served its purpose. The change in Government policy would only be effective internally and would make no difference to the export trade. Whereas certain fields were set aside under licensing for various companies, they would now have a “free run.” But, the spokesman said, he thought the industry could adopt some “order its ways” system. “It seems to us the sensible Way of doing thangs.” , > ■ ii?
