Garment Production Survey INDUSTRY HANDICAPPED BY LACK OP OPERATIVES WELLINGTON, Feb. 21. The results of a garment production survey concerning the first six months of 1941 were reviewed in Wellington at the second annual meeting of the National Garment Control Council, Mr. Howard Hunter presiding. The council examined these results in conjunction with the requirements of essential civilian garments together with further military clothing requirements which would have to be produced in that poriod. “When a survey of the estimated production during the six months up to June next was taken recently, manufacturers were asked to concentrate their efforts on the most critically short types of civilian garments and, in general, the results shown by the survey indicate that this is being done,” says a statement issued to-day. “However, in view of the inadequacy of the number of operatives in the garment manufacturing industry, with resulting idle machinery, there is still a possibility ol serious deficiences developing in essential garment supplies. This is an immediate problem, which has been accentuated by the fact that there are still extensive military clothing requirements to bo produced by the industry and these have first priority. “The council was impressed with the need for every manufacturer to concentrate his efforts with his available manpower on the production of those items which are now known to be in most critical supply. Information on these items is being referred through the Garment Manufacturers ’ Federation to each district, so that the industry will be kept apprised of the classes of garments the production of which should be concentrated on to the greatest extent possible.

“The data received from the survey has proved intensely valuable foi planning purposes, but it was found necessary to institute some means of reviewing tho progress actually made under overall planning at shorter intervals than a six-monthly period. The council, therefore, is obtaining through sectional Garment Manufacturers’ Federations a regular, periodic summary ol the actual production achieved throughout the Dominion in respect to each essential civilian garment. In view ol the importance of this periodic review of the position, the council felt that every manufacturer must give his full support to the provision of information regarding his own firm’s activities ano thus ensure a comprehensive picture being obtained at regular intervals. As in all forms of planning undertaken to avert a development of critical shortages, the efforts put forward depend for their effectiveness on their being spread among all sections of the community. Manufacturers and theii staffs of operatives will require to direct their wholehearted efforts into production and the public will have to direct its buying rights to only those garments of which it is in need. If the individual purchaser will act in this manner, the supplies of garments available to the public will be equitably spread among the whole of tho community.”
