SHIPPING SHORTAGE
MR SULLIVAN’S STATEMENT. P.A. WELLINGTCN, May 2. . The Minister of Supply and Munitions (Mr Sullivan) stated to-day that the war situation has not eased the tightness of shipping, and it is likely that for the next two months the N.Z. Supply Mission in Washington will experience some difficulty in arranging shipping to meet New Zealand’s entire requirements. It will not be possible to lift all lend-lease and other requirements which originate in North America, and which are to be shipped from the east coast. The Minister emphasised that even with the cessation of hostilities in Europe there will still be a tremendous demand upon shipping for war transport and relief purposes. It is anticipated, however, that the beginning of the second half of 1945 will show improvement in the position.
