NEW INDUSTRIES
Crowding Into City Areas
The tendency for new industries to crowd into two or three industrial areas such as Wellington and Auckland where they would be open to attack from enemy aircraft was pointed out by Mr. Cullen (Government, Hawke’s Bay) in notice of a question in the House of Representatives yesterday. Mr. Cullen intends to ask the Minister of Industries and Commerce, Mr. Sullivan, if he will give consideration when granting licences for new industries to the question of issuing them on the basis of a better distribution of population and the safeguarding of essential industries against possible enemy attack. ‘“The erection of a factory in Rongotai for the manufacture of aeroplanes,” said Mr. Cullen, “is a striking instance of the present trend to which the question draws attention.”
