IMPORTS LIMITED BLOW TO MANUFACTURERS MORE LICENSES URGED (P.A.) AUCKLAND. March 16. Although British manufactures guaranteed to provide 20,000 passenger cars for the New Zealand market in 1948, import licenses just issued allowed for the import of only 10,000, which was a reduction of 7000 on last year's quota, stated tile vice-president of the North Island Motor Union, Mr. F. G. Farrell, who left for Christchurch today to attend the half-yearly conference of the South Island Motor Union. New Zealand’s refusal to take delivery of 20,000 cars would deal a serious blow to the United Kingdom. Mr. Farrell added. British manufacturers could not obtain allocations of steel and other raw materials unless they could assure themselves of a market overseas. The South Island Motor Union’s conference, he said, would in all probability make representations to the Government to increase the import licenses.
