SHORTAGE OF GLASSES
EXTRA IMPORTS ALLOWED Because of the scarcity of drinking glasses, the Government has decided to grant additional licenses for the importation this year of glasses from Britain or Australia, at the discretion of the importer, to the extent of 50 per cent of the applicant’s present allocation for imports of such goods from the United Kingdom or ’‘other British countries.” Licenses are to be available only for glasses suited for ordinary every-day use. There was a marked shortage of glasses in hotels last October and to overcome this, extra licenses to import glasses in the fourth period were issued. It was then a condition that the value of such licenses would be deducted from the importer’s fifth period allocation. This condition would have intensified the scaicliy this year which the decision to issue additional licenses will help to overcome.
