IMPORT RESTRICTIONS
EFFECT ON SPORTS MATERIALS AUSTRALIAN MANUFACTURER MAKING INQUIRIES [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, June 14. Tennis, badminton, and squash rackets and cricket bats may be manufactured locally in the future if the extent of the market and the economic factors are favourable. Mr W. J. Sheehan, president of the Tasmanian Chamber of Manufacturers and manager of the Alexander Patent Racket Company, who is in Wellington owing to a heavy drop in business resulting from import control, intimated in an interview that if the economic aspects were not favourable his company would probably link up with one existing in Now Zealand. Two difficulties wore that the timber must be imported and the smallness of the market. He said ho thought the New Zealand Government should have encouraged industries that supplied a wide demand while leaving limited industries to overseas suppliers.
