Wellington Traders Remain In Dark
[Per Press Association. Copyright .] : ‘ WELLINGTON, This Day.
Little change in the situation created by the import Regulations was seen in Wellington yesterday. Firms dealing in soft goods are probably more in the dark than any other class. Inquiries yesterday failed to discover one that had received a license. The belief is growing that the Customs Department has a special reason for withholding licenses for this class of import. Wholesale booksellers, too, are still without licenses, but current publications are being admitted undcif a special temporary arrangement. Specific Knowledge Lacking. Manufacturers generally , are reluctant to discuss their proposals for trade extension, probably because of the lack of specific knowledge of what avenues of production will have to be exploited. They claim, however, to be confident of their ability to fulfil the increased demand for Dominion products that is expected to result from the restriction' of imports.
One radio manufacturer said *he expected, within twelve months, to be able to enlarge his factory to employ at least 100 additional hands.
