MORE THAN ADEQUATE
RAW MATERIALS
POSITION IN BRITAIN
(Received July 13, 2 p.m.)
LONDON, July 12.
Mr. W. S. Morrison made the statement in the House of Commons that stocks of essential raw materials are more than adequate. There was three months' supply on the basis of war requirements. In the House of Lords, Lord Templemore stated that now there is no shortage of rifles and machine-guns. The Government was not aware of a markedly abnormal increase in sales of raw materials for armament purposes to Germany and Japan. Any proposal to restrict exports of raw materials to certain countries would provoke retaliatory action and make the chances of peace more doubtful.
