NO EARLY RELIEF
RATIONING TO CONTINUE (P.A.) GISBORNE, This Day. “I cannot see us escaping from the rationing of tea and sugar for some time, nor do I see much chance m regard to butter,” said Mr D. G. Sullivan, Minister of Industries . and Commerce, addressing the Dominion Grocers’ Federation to-day. . Both tea and sugar were short by millions of tons and he did not think that rationing would end within the year. The petrol position, he added, had eased to the extent that it was possible to hand over the “overall oil rationing” to the companies. . The new system had worked out satisfactorily and as soon as posible other forms of rationing would be dealt with on the same principle. He assured the gathering that the Government would remove rationing at the earliest moment it could be done.
