DOMINION STOCKS BRITISH SUPPLIES SOUGHT (P.A.) WELLINGTON, April 8. Commenting on the cabled announcement that special licenses were' being issued in Britain “for the importation of certain fabrics into New Zealand. the Minister of Supply, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, said that this followed the visit of a special representative to London to press for improved allocations of cloths. The previous quota, together with local production, was less than minimum needs. He hoped that additional allocations would meet requirements where there were shortages. These were particularly in men's overcoats, working trousers and babies and children’s wear.
