MANUFACTURERS CONCERN
FEDERATION ISSUES STATEMENT | B.v telegraph Press Association] WELLINGTON, 18th October. | “The federation notes that the Prime Minister is not yet in a position to make the statement promised of the procedure to be followed for safeguarding New Zealand industries,” says a statement by the New Zealand Manufacturers’ Federation to-day. The statement reviews the federation’s approaches to the Prime Minister and the Ministers for Industries and Commerce and for Customs since 1935 for protection. It says that manufacturers were apprehensive over the knowledge that orders were going overseas which had previously been handled by New Zealand factories. The federation asked for protection from the situation which must follow the Government’s labour legislation. “The unemployment predicted by the federation has come to pass; but the ! safeguarding measures promised by the Government have not. The most unfortunate aspect of the situation is that I industry cannot indefinitely continue ;to carry the workers who have been retained in the expectation of the Prime Minister’s fulfilment of his undertakings.”
