HOARDING CONDEMNED
“KIND OF CANNIBALISM” (P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. Addressing the New Brighton R.S.A., of which he is a life member, on Saturday night, the 5 Minister of Supply, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, des'eribed hoarding as “a crime against the community.” > Mr. Sullivan said that the problems of the future would be more acute than anything the country had yet experienced and the civil population would have to make many sacrifices of goods they were accustomed to but which were now required for war purposes, or perhaps the factories would be required for more immediate war purposes. Hoarding was a crime against the community and should be resisted and discouraged by everyone. ' Hoarding was a kind of cannibalism, and .good citizens, understanding that, would not be guilty of it. Those who indulged in panic buying and hoarding deprived others, including women and children, of their fair and proportionate share of the goods available and compelled the Government to esort to rationing.
