NO INCREASE YET
GOODS FOR N.Z
EXPORTS FROM BRITAIN
LABOUR STILL SHORT (Special Correspondent.) (10 a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 27
Until the Labour situation improves in Britain, it is not thought that there will be much of an increase in the goods available to meet orders from New Zealand, even with the recent relaxation of certain export license controls.
This is the opinion of Mr. D. V. Tomson, chairman of the Australian and New Zealand Merchant and Shippers’ Association. Mr. Tomson said: “The issue of the list of goods now exempt from expurt license is certainly a step in the right direction. While the list only contained in the main goods for which licenses have already been granted fairly and freely, it certainly relieves the exporters of a good deal of unnecessary work and enables them to devote more of their time to productive purposes. There are, however, many goods for which licenses are still required and which are difficult to. obtain and these of course, are lines in short supply, not only here but throughout the world and, consequently, those most needed.
“Taking a broad view, therefore, I think the new list will not result. in any particular increase in exportation. That can only come about when the Labour situation improves.”
