FOR WAR TIME EMERGENCY
RESERVES OF PHOSPHATE , ACCUMULATING
[Per United Press Association.)
NEW PLYMOUTH, May 22. The importations of phosphate into New Zealand have increased considerably in the past few months. The reason given to-day for the additional imports through New Plymouth was the desire to accumulate reserve supplies in case of war. Mr . J. L. Mander, manager of the New Zealand Farmers’ Fertiliser Company’s works at New Plymouth, stated that a quantity of phosphate sufficient to last sis months was being built up as a provision for war-time emergency. The reserve supplies would be stored outside, and the stocks under cover were also being built up. The re-cently-completed store gave space for an additional 8,000 tons of rawmaterial.
