WELLINGTON, Fri. (Sp.).—Practically all goods manufactured from rnetal were in short supply and likely to* remain so according to Mr D. H. Todd, of Todd Motors Ltd. when discussing impressions of his recent visit overseas.
One aspect of the shortage of metal was that the world wide lag in the filling of orders for motor vehicles was likely to continue for some years. The principle basic shortage seemed to be steel, and this was also affecting petrol supplies as new drilling and refining plants could not be made in quantities needed.
