RAW MATERIALS
MAINTENANCE OF SUPPLIES IMPORTANCE EMPHASISED ' [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION'] "WELLINGTON, Tuesday "At this stage I would emphasise the importance of the maintenance of supplies of raw materials." said Mr. D. I. Mac Donald, secretary of the NewZealand Manufacturers' Association at the annual meeting of the Wellington Manufacturers' Association, to-night. "This is the manufacturers' biggest worry to-day, and 1942 is likely to see the result of the delay by Government departments in issuing licences now for essential materials. One day's delay might mean weeks, or even months, of hold up.
"Later evidence of the seriousness of the position is becoming available daily. Rapidly increasing prices overseas also mean that less materials are, available for each £IOO worth of licence. Manufacturers cannot continue to meet the country's and the Army's requirements if these unnecessary delays in issuing licences are not overcome."
