VISIT OF AUSTRALIAN BUYERS. [per press association.! . Wellington, March 19. Tn reference •to the news telegraphed from Auckland that a representative of the Federal Government had arrived there to place orders for uniforms and cloth, it appears that not only is there a representative cf the Australian Government, but. there are at least two representatives here of private manufacturing firms, who arc presumable Government contractors trying to . procure some of their material here. The Defence .Minister was asked whether operations of these nrivate individuals were likely to embarrass the New Zealand defence authorities. Mr. Allen replied that he could not speak with any’ assurance until he knew what was going on, and what orders were to be fil’ed. or were likely’ to be put in. Un till the present time the woollen mills and clothiers had supplied the needs of Government very satisfactorilv. Government would have ample powers under the War Regulations Act to prevent any person whomsoever from taking away from New Zealand material that may be required for our own forces.
