IMPORT LICENCES
THE FOURTH PERIOD EXTENSION OF DATE SOUGHT [by telegraph—OWN correspondent] WELLINGTON, Wednesday A meeting of the council of the United Kingdom Manufacturers and New Zealand Representatives' Association, in Wellington, considered the matter of fourth period import licences. These are at present due to expire on December 31, but in view of the great difficulties under which United Kingdom manufacturers are at present working it was not possible in some cases for goods to be shipped in time to arrive here by December 31. It was decided to make representations to the Minister of Customs, the Hon. W. Nash, asking for an extension of the time for the use of these licences to June 30, 1941. Such an extension it was felt would be a contribution to the United Kingdom's efforts to maintain its export trade. „
It was also decided to ask the Minister to issue the fifth period licences as early as possible and to issue them to cover the whole of 1941 and not for six months, as has been observed in the past.
