ARRANGING SUPPLIES (PR ) WELLINGTON, this day. Replying to an urgent question by Mr C A. Wilkinson (Nat. Egmont), in the House of Representatives,- the Minister of Supply; the' Hon. D. G. Sullivan, said he was aware of the shortage of knitting wool, cream flannel, and white wool particularly required for baby wear. He regarded such supplies as being of prime importance and by a rearrangement ot defence contract? certain domestic mills would produce additional quantities of these materials immediately.
